Might also be vermetid snails. Again, nothing to worry about unless they multiply to a huge population. You will notice more and more neat things as you progress. Try taking a flashlight with a red lens and shine it in there at night. You'll be amazed and entertained for hours. Let the addiction begin!!

The liverock bursts with living things to keep you newbies enthused while you wait for fish and corals. This is one of the coolest times in the hobby. Be patient and enjoy!
