    Hard to tell, but I think the first one is a FD, the 2nd might be a sponge and the last one is definately a snail. Luna

    The little snail is an Engina species, either Engina carolinae or Engina zonalis. They are predators, but shouldn't be much of a problem in a reef tank. They will most likely eat worms and small vermetids, and maybe other tiny animals. Same family as the "Bumblebee Snails" that the suppliers all sell.

    Engina carolinae

    Engina zonalis

    Cheers,



    Don
