hitchhikers!

Starting to see what came in the live rock I bought...

there are a bunch of feather dusters...I looked them up online and found some. A couple look like the Hawaiian variety. The others I don't know, there are 4-5 purple ones (that I found so far), and one orangish-brown one, anyone know what kind these are? They are relatively small now (1/2") so no chance my camera will pick them up.

Also looks like I got one purple zoanthid head, and there is some sponge I think? Can't say I like the sponge (if that is what it is), kinda looks like opaque globs.

I also got a couple of some unknown coral, its bright pink, tiny, circular and looks like each have a bunch of stubs coming up (halfway b/t a bump and a tentacle). Anyone have an ID for these?

any pics of the others for ID?

I tried but my digital elph just doesn't quite pick em up.

even in macro mode, it is not able to pick up the critters?

Hmmmm, I'll check when I get home tonight...I found these images on google.
A couple look like this: http://frontpage.simnet.is/dna/Worm-...er-duster-.jpg

There are like 7-8 like this: http://www.foad.org/fish/pics/reef/feather-5-01.jpg

And there is one kind of like this (but waaaay smaller, like 3/4"): http://www.nwmarinelife.com/images/E_polymorpha.jpg. This one has me a bit worried because I have not seen it retract at all, even when I shine a light or tap the glass. It has me second guessing and thinking it might be aiptasia.


Until I get home and play w/ macro mode, heres a FTS now that the water is clearing up.
