Can anyone tell me if this is a fireworm or nothin to worry about?

Hi all, I'm very new to this caper. Can anyone identify these lifeforms and let me know if they are bad. Bug 1 is new, just showed up over the last week. This one is about 5mm. Bug 2 was just discovered today eating my coral. It's about 25mm long, looks like an anemone from above but like...

Would anybody happen to know what this is? I can't really figure it out.

Did a tank cleaning yesterday and cleaned out the normal amount of garbage from my sun coral tank. I put a lot of emphasis on removing as many as possible,bristle worms, there are many. However in turning some of the rock work over I noticed these bristles covering several areas of the rock...

Hi. I bought an established tank from someone. They told me that these were polyps. But I think that they might be a type of pest anemone? What do you think?

My tank was getting overrun with flatworms a few months ago, but I had a horrid experience with Flatworm Exit. However, it did get rid of most of the flatworms except for the ones stuck to my long tentacle plate coral. I tried sucking them off with a baster originally, but damaged some...

These pics leave a lot to be desired but before I remove the plug I'll post this. The coral is a seasons greetings montipora that almost died from unknown causes but has colored up nicely under my new lights. I noticed 4 spiral tubes forming and are now growing rapidly. They do not appear to be...

Is this tube like worm good or bad???

I have an 8 gallon reef tank. I got a frag of zoas on trade from a local guy and it came with two small green - what looks like majano - anemones. Two of these came on a a birdsnest frag plug as well.r I want to eradicate these buggers from my tank before they start popping up everywhere...

So I was cleaning out my sump, I have a plastic container in there that was holding some LR and when I took it out I noticed these gooey clear things with arms (almost look like tiny star fish maybe) attached all over the sides of the plastic. Some are very small and then there are two that are...

What is this dang thing circled in RED in the pic below? ....some kind of asterina star, right? Does it do this kind of damage?

Today I was observing my tank as I usually do and I found 2 new things. First is that inside my rock has a web like substance much like a spider nest and I was looking at that when a small insect poked its little head out of the hole. The next thing I found is a small clam like creature that...

I got a few of these guys on my new live rock and I asked my lfs what they might be. They said it could be majano but they are kinda pretty and I wanted to make sure before I remove them. They do tend to move around the tank so I think they are an anemone.

Hey I just got some live Fiji Rock and I was wondering what this little thing on it was.

Hey there!(: It seems that some pest snails have hitch hiked into my planted tank, and I'd like to use a small fish to naturally rid of them.(: I love the look of the pea puffers, but I'm worried one would hurt or kill my fish I have now. The tank is 37 gallons, and more tall and thin rather...

hey everyone, i am relatively new to the salt water game, i have been doing freshwater since i was very you but i thought id dive in and try saltwater. i am absolutely loving it, something new, challenging and very rewarding. i just need a little bit of help identifying some critters i got...

I found this today in a new mushroom rock that i got from my lfs. Not sure if its good or bad. I would like to know a name or species if possible. It has a crown that comes out of the tube but i can't get a pic of it. Thanks for the help

Found this in two places in my tank. One is on a turbo snail and the other is on a piece of lr.

After my removing of the sand bed I've fund 3 of these guys and moved them to the pod tank ( it's like my Guantanimo Bay) for all outcasts.
