    I have these little orange tube things in my tank and they are hard and about 1/4" long.[​IMG]


    I can't tell what this is either.

    Orange tube things are those little tube worms/feather dusters...I forget the real name. The other picture I can't see real well but look like sponges.

    The second pic looks like some kind of anemone. I dont think its apstasia becuase it seems wider and I don't see a leg. They have tenticles with bubbles on the end and are only 3/4" around.

    First pic I think is the snail as they put out a string. Are these bad or good.
