    Resolved Snail ID

    It's not really a whelk, although it may be related to them. It could be a worm-eating miter species (Strigatella), but I believe it's a Dove Shell,...

    Resolved weird worm

    It's a polychaete of some sort. It looks a lot like a Palolo worm, a delicacy in much of the Pacific. You could always saute it with onions and eat...

    Resolved what are these things

    Pyramid Snails

    Yup, those are definitely pyramidellids, and you'll want to remove them. The vermetid won't hurt anything. Sorry if I confused any of you about the...

    New Octopus

    They're not all that hard to keep, assuming they don't get out of the tank. Different species will favor different foods, but mine would try...

    Nudibranch?

    OK, if the white spot is in the middle of its back, it's a Shield Limpet (Scutus). Most everyone agrees they are nice residents. The Sea Slug Forum...

    Nudibranch?

    There's a good chance it's a Scutus species, or shield limpet, rather than a nudibranch. Can you sometimes see a white line down its back?...

    some worm

    Yes, it's a eunicid, and they are normally bad news. Unless you just want to keep him as a neat predator in his own tank, you'll want to remove him....

    Resolved what are these things

    That's true, because if you have one of the monster spotted flatworms, he'll eat any molluscs you have in the tank. Nevertheless...the critter in...

    tiny slugs?
