Help! I need identification of one growth that i found on some of my live rock, as well as a creature i discovered in a crevice within the rock that does not move, it just stays there. Its clear and looks like a slug or worm with two little antennas which can't really be seen in the pictures i've attached. I havent had the rock long and i'm a beginner so dont have a clue about that one. And based on my knowledge the other thing i am pretty sure is a feather duster? Just want it confirmed

If that is what they are, and I am wondering now about the cucumber if it is an accurate guess because looking at it may just be some sponge, they are both no problem. The palythoa is a common coral polyp and will under the correct water parameters grow and multiply.

Ok. Good to know! Thanks :) There is also this tiny orange bug that i'm afraid is impossible to get a picture of. It almost looks like a centipede, its kind of long and has lots of legs...it was coming out of the sand-Any idea what that could be ?

I am actually pretty sure it is a sea cucumber because i researched them online and this thing fits the description to a tee. So basing it off of what i read i'd say thats what it is. Its curled up and takes the shape of a worm. One end of it moves which im guessing is the head and theres a mouth on it with tentacles poking out
