Hello all, I just set up a 12gal Nano and stocked it with 10 lb of cured LR. There is a lot of stuff on it that I can’t find anything on. Here are a few pics, see what you can ID.
First pic is some type of plant. Sorry for the blurry pic, but this little plant is growing out of the back of the biggest piece of LR, so it’s hard for the camera to focus on. What type is it, anyone know?

Second is some type of life form, the two pink ends were moving around, and since this pic has been taken, its moved and I haven’t seen it since. It looks like a bristle worm, but what’s the black spot in the middle???

This is a little snail, its moving all over the place. What type of snail is it?? Its less than 1/8 wide!

Feather dusters?? The ones in the red circles are tiny. The yellow circle is the home of a white feather that is about 1/2” in diameter. It only comes out when its dark in the tank...This rock is covered in tinyfeather dusters like this. I counted 7 just on the front part of the rock!!


Thanks :happyfish

Yes they can but I wouldnt force them through it. If there attached to the live rock like his and mine then you have no choice because there tubes are made out of hard material just like the rock and cant be moved. All of mine suvived but some died "when a peice of rock fell".
As for pic 2 brittle stars have 5 legs not 2 lol and there are more points on the legs than like that.
