    Neat pics! It's actually a "Dog Conch," also known as a "Yellow Conch." I don't think they are imported for the hobby very often, as yours is the...

    Help Id this thing for me...THANK YOU

    Comes out at dawn to pull in what it can

    Yup, it's definitely not a brittle star. It's going to be one of the filter-feeding (as opposed to sand-sifting) cucumbers. Cheers, Don

    Nerite Snails huddled on and in overflow.

    Any ideas?

    These animals are some of the same species sold in the hobby as "sand-sifting cucumbers," and aren't very closely related to the most toxic ones....

    Creepy? Snail?

    It probably is a snail, but I doubt it's missing its shell. Those little fuzzy things are probably papillae on the mantle, which covers the shell in...

    When I hear "green tube," I usually figure it's the calcareous algae, Neomeris annulata. I think that's what you have, too. You can google for some...

    Not. It's a true nudibranch, and feeds only on sponges, probably only on one or a couple of species of dysideid sponges. "Lettuce Sea Slugs" don't...
