ID these things please

[joemack]

Please help me by identifying these things
its like a snail attached to a rock and it has a round "mouth"?? It has 2 anteni (i cant spell good)

here is it when it is sticking out of it attched shell

I was told these were recordia when I got these from this dude. It doesnt look like ricordea any more.

rather than not id'n these, ask me for better pictures and I will try again!! THANKS!

Not sure about the first two but I would say the last one is some type of hairy mushroom. Look nice.

The first picture is of a Stomatella Varia. They're very benificial for the tank and often consume algae and many other herbavorous foods.

The "Ricordea" looks more like a hairy mushroom.

That last pic looks like the gaint mushrooms I have. They do belong to the ricordia family.
See if this pic helps

They are about 6" dia. I will try to get a better pic tommorow if you need it.

 

[joemack]

Thanks Guys.... and I would like to see the picture.

 

[joemack]

I dont think it is Stomatella Varia because this is stationary. It actually attached to the rock and does not move, leme take more pictures.

Does it look like this?

its a hairy mushroom i have on about 5inch in diamiter

 

[joemack]

Thanks for the input guys! i dont think it is an Limpet because this is stationary. This live rock is very old and has been in its state for over 6 years. Think maybe... i dono!!!!

Here is more of a close up view of my mushroom. They get big and do enjoy a snack every so often. They will close right up round it like a ball.

The critter is a Vermitid Snail.

i agree with guyit is definately a vermetid snail and the mushrooms you have dont belong to the ricordea genus, they actually belong to the rhodactis genus!
good luck
