    Anyone up for IDing some pictures for me? :)

    Ok so I have noticed some strange things and I haven't been able to figure out what they are yet. This is where all you really knowledgeable people come in! If you know what any of the following are and if they are good/bad I would really appreciate it.

    I have a ton of these all over the rocks...


    So i have a couple of these as well. Again its on the LR and very pink



    There is a worm in the center of the photo. I have seen a couple of these and if no one can identify I can understand...


    And this little crab showed up in my tank about a month after I picked up some LR... is he a danger to the fish or other inhabitants?


    Lastly here, Does anyone know what kind of Zoa's these are?




    Thanks again everyone!!

    Re: Anyone up for IDing some pictures for me? :)

    first picture, pretty typical in reef tanks, i dont know the genus but its a type of tube worm.

    the second i want to say some kind of rare color morph mushroom anemone or dying? but the center ball of whatever it is has me doubting it.

    third is some kind of bristle worm, not close enough for a proper id.

    forth, DEATH TO THE CRABS!! crabs are argued about in this hobby but bluntly they eat anything they can catch if they are hungry and thats not reef safe in my opinon

    lastly i've heard those called dragon eye zoa's but you can call them what ever you like, its the scientific name that defines it.

    The bristle worm looks like it may be a Eurythoe complanata, a beneficial animal. Look that up and see if it matches what's in your tank.

    hmm... definately not a bristle worm... it almost looks like a millipede. I swear it looks like it has legs. to put things in perspective it is only about a half inch in length. Any other guesses?
