    Anemone Hitchhiker on Macroalgae - ID needed

    Hello, Can anyone help me ID this small orangey-tan anemone that arrived on my Pom Pom macroalgae? Surprised to see something show up like this from Algaebarn. It only appears to be on one clump of many from what I can see, but in case its aphasia I will remove all the other pieces for inspection.

    What is this thing?

    I was just observing the tank as I do and noticed this little critter come out from a hole in the rock. It looks like some kind of shell-less snail or slug. Any ideas on what it is and if it's good or bad?

    Palythoa on gsp?

    I noticed this growing on a piece of my gsp. The gsp hasn't seemed to extend its polyps for a while so I'm wondering if this is the case. Any idea what it is?

    Clam ID

    Hey everyone! Back again with another critter ID! Found this clam-like critter on one of the shells that this hermit has been carrying around for a while At first I figured it was just some sort of abnormal growth from the snail that used to call this shell home. I noticed recently that this...

    Seems I have a hitchhiker. ID please!

    I picked up some coral from a local dealer and found this guy with one of my favia’s. Seems to be a snail but not quite sure. Don’t know if I should let him loose in my tank or not.

    White Tube/Worm hitchhiker ID

    I've scoured hitchhiker id posts here but cannot seem to find anything similar. Would appreciate some help. I noticed this yesterday at lights out. Reacts quickly to any sound, movement or light changes. Tank is 3 months old with live sand.

    Weird short Fireworm abalone nudibranch thing? some sort of invert

    ^ Top view ^ Bottom view What is this hitchiker? Looks like a fireworm due to the glass hair spines but its too short to be one and the belly looks like a suction cup type deal similar to abalones

    Possible Aiptasia?

    Found this guy on a small chunk of liverock I just added to my nano tank last night. Is this an aiptasia? I've already removed the rock it is on from the tank just in case, but if it isn't aiptasia I'd like to add it back since that stuff is expensive. I don't usually use live rock so I'm...

    Suspected Eunice worm

    Hello good people of R2R, I have what I think is a Eunice worm in my tank but would love to hear that I am wrong. It decided to come out with the lights on today and I was able to get a decent look at it, and even snap some terrible photos- it is VERY sensitive to movement so unfortunately these...

    ID assistance appreciated! Tube worm?

    Was checking my tank under red light last night and noticed some kind of tube worm (?) on one of my softies. It looked a bit like a feather duster at first, but zooming in on my camera I noticed it has a forked appearance. I just want to know if it is something nasty - has already been through...

    Hitchhiker coral or pest (or both)?

    I'm looking for an ID on these little purple buds that appeared on my zoa frag. They survived a coral dip when I first got them, so I wasn't too concerned about them until I found more elsewhere in the tank. I'm thinking they're some sort of clove polyp as I think they have multiple arms, but...

    Are they corals?

    Hey, i'm so fascinated by hitchhikers than i could buy live rocks everyday to get new ones! But here are the one i still have doubt on what it is. I think they may be corals for 1 (the thing with big filaments) & 2, they are open when lights are on but maybe a pest anemon for 3? Thank you for...
