Post a pic of the "tubes with white tips so we can make sure its not aptasia. What is that peaking out of the shell? If its not a crab you need to find out what it is to make sure its nothing bad.
Not trying to rain on your parade. Just being cautious.

FWIW I start my tank with macro algaes to balance and stabilize operation.
You migh want to consider adding some even if you have to add a partition to keep the fish and macros seperate.

From all the pictures I've seen it's definitely a Bristol worm. I also just did a bonehead move. I went to grab a test kit and brought it home to test the ammonia. After testing I noticed the kit said for freshwater. They were both together and didn't even notice. The test came up @ 1ppm. Do you think this is accurate? Will the kit still work? Thanks for all your great replies thus far. I'm lovin this.
