HitchHiker Anemone or something


I just started a Aquarium and it's small a 12 gal tank. I've just bought live rock and with that brought some friends.
I found i have two sails.
One weird crab that I haven't been able to see all the way. The crab did come out a little bit and I saw it eating something but I have nothing in my tank. I'm think it eats algae cause on of the sails have disapeard.
Other then the problem with trying to figure out what the crab is the werid invertebrate that I have in my tank.

I found out that I have three of them one is more visable then the others.
It's comeing out of a white long tube and it color for it tentacles are peach with a light red strips.
What is it??

It's just a worm... You will probably see more of them as your tank grows. The white thing is typically made of sand and that is the home for the worm. The fether you see on top is what draws in the worms food.

Check this site out...http://www.chucksaddiction.com/hitchworms.html you will see more of the fether type worms near the bottom... Check the one out I found in my tank... Now this one is not a feather type : )

Crabs are not all bad... I had several in my tank. Now I did have one that looked more like a babby lobster... It would use his tail to crak open other craps and snails. The only way I could catch him was to remove all the rock. He grabed on to one as I pulled it out of the water and in the sink he went. The rest is history

Thats the only thing I don't think hes bad our I though I would be missing the sails that also came with the rock cause he might eat them. Only bad thing is I don't know what rock hes in cause the rock I saw him He is on longer there. Right now I just want to see him so I can take picuters so I can ID he.
