definitely not stomatellas, I have a few. Although I'm not quite sure I agree 100% with Paddyob on sundial, after looking at some my self yours dont seem to have the flat shell on one side, but I dont know if all sundial share that characteristic. google Live rock hitch hikers theres a few websites, I cant remember off the top of my head, but the may be of more help

google Heliacus snail, I dont know if thats the same as a sundial. similar but different lol. and I agree with the nocturnal nem. check out http://www.chucksaddiction.com/hitchhikers.html for more on hitchhikers

I think it could be the stomella snail. Each time vie seen it it's been grazing on the rocks.

Will look up the nocturnal nems. Thanks!

Looks like a juvenille Turbo. Do you have Turbos?

first pic, could be a peanut worm. beneficial.

Yah I believe it's a turbo snail, sundials have a pyramid shape like a mini strawberry top hat and the checker patterns black and white, they also has a trap door....

I think the second pic is just a zoanthid. I have some that are that orange colour. Unless I'm looking at the wrong thing in the picture.

Here is a pic of mine for comparison.

This looks like a frag of some type of chalice coral but I don't think she is trying to ID that

I do have turbos, but I don't see this one during the day, only at night. Nothing is being bothered ATM. I've looked at a number of snail sites, nothing really jumping out.

actually yeah might be lol. man this is a tricky one. I would still take them out for now or atleast keep an eye on them til' you get a positive ID. if they are turbos, lucky you! if not, unlucky you!
