    Well I got some corals in yesterday, and as I am dipping and fragging them up for grow out, Ive ran across a lot of interesting critters! Ive decided to play a game and everybody is a contestant! I dont have the time to search online for countless hours right now to look these critters up, so Im letting you guys play when you get bored out of your mind! Also as I find more critters, I will post them so we can keep this an on going game!

    So yeah...

    First up.... This lil bugger was unhappy when I cut open his rock and he decided to run across my fingers, luckly I had thick gloves on(learned my lesson early when I touched something a finger went numb).

    This thing actually spit at me in the face, luckily I wear glasses(yes Im a real life geek) so no harm no foul. I dont have pic of the inside of them. I accidently cut one up while fragging. It has a base/shell like a clam, but Ive never seen a clam have whats pictured so yeah.. Name that Invert!

    Next up, in the picture, you can see some neon orangish and green strands in the middle of the pic, that it actually what the critter looks like. Never seen anything like that either.

    Ive got a lot more to do, so there should be more to come!!! BTW, I know what the first one is, and even named it Eunice the _________ Worm! Im sure there are people who have no clue what it is, lets just say they can get up to 7 feet that I know, and devastate zoa colonies in one night when they are adults. The Great Worm Incident

    Bristle or fire worm is the first one...or possibly a polynoid worm or even a Palolo worm!
    Second one looks like a type of stony coral! I don't see the bivalve(two shells associated with clams), nor do I see a inhalent and exhalent syphon or mantle, plus it looks like it has numerous tentacles often associated with coral polyps in the sclerictinia order! maybe I am looking at the wrong thing?
    third one is a type of spaghetti worm-terebellid worm
