Several "wierd" and "wonderful"(?) living things on my live rock. What are they?
1. worm type things: black and rust/orange banded withmilipede type projections. Bristel worms?
2 a green "blob" anout the size of a peppercorn that moves about on the rock - definitely a live critter and NOT algae.
3. a bivalve - I think - that moves?
Honest, I'm not drinking or smoking anything! These two piece of rock are teeming with stuff. I hope it is all good stuff....

1. could be a bristle there are hundreds of worms and you may never id them all but the bristles are probably one of the most common
2. the green blob ??? could be a stomatella snail they are a big slug with a little shell
3. bivalve- probably a small clam i got several on my lr
