got it today what is it???

[malmom]

I just got this today but I am not sure what it is....I know the yellow polyps but I am not sure what the pinkish colored stuff is. It has holes in it and little filter hand come in and out of the holes just like barnacles. I didn't realize they were on there when i got it. I hope they are not harmful......Pictures 3,4 and 5 are another mystery for me I am thinking snail of some sort but not sure....Any ideas???

I'm so sorry but that a sundial snail. They are predatory on zoanthids.

The pinkish colored stuff looks like it could be sponge, or perhaps colonial tunicates. And yes, the snail is a sundial. I'd check the rock to make sure there aren't more.
