    Hey all; My tank is finally stabilizing and I noticed the other day in my Refugium a bunch of tiny snail/slugs they are also in the tank when the lights first come on; as well as what appear to be bristle worms( tiny red worms on the surface of the mud) Most of which are visible when the lights first come on ; Are these things safe?

    Most bristle worms are totally fine.

    The snails should be fine too, some can be annoying and multiply like crazy as I have found with my Ceriths. But I just siphon them out with water changes and it eventually got the population under control.

    If you post a pic we can take a shot at identifying them.
