![]() lots of pics!
1. are they free walking or only coming in and out of a hole? if free walking perhaps a nudibranch of some sort. (if nudie can be bad...if just a worm..typically good) 2. kinda looks like a nudibranch (mostly all bad) 3. looks like feather dusters (good) 4. looks like a limpet (good) 5. another worm (not bad but from my reading they can irritate corals) they throw out a 'net' that you see to catch food stuffs again...all imo.

![]() I have had and currently have items 3,4 and 5
All are harmless to your tank as far as I know. The exception is the limpets my yellow tail damsel had a craving for them(it left everything else alone but damn it went after them like crazy) and they no longer exist in my tank or if they do are hiding from my damsel in places it can't get.

![]() thanks for all the help everyone I have established that #5 is digitate hydroid number three is colony hydroid, still no ID on the brown thing on the base of my hammer coral. Strill hasnt moved yet mind you. and those snails I believe to be COLLONISTA SNAILS yet I have like tons of them. not sure how to get rid of them or keep there population down.
Does anything eat these snails and possibly the digitate hydroids? and is that anything able to cohabitate within my tank? |

I had an out break of the a few years back......and tried several things to get rid of them, nothing worked. I had a bunch on the rubble in my sump, I even went as far as to take it out and let it dry in the sun for a few weeks.....upon putting it back in POOF they were back again. Eventually they went away on there own, and to this day I never noticed any ill effects from it being my tank. As for the GSP I wouldn't worry about it, that stuff is indestructible.....in fact there will prolly come a day when you'll be swearing trying to kill some of it back LOL
