Blue tik

[kymgrant6]

Can anyone tell me what this creature is in my tank.
It’s blue and on close up looks like a tik.
We had to get rid of live rock a few weeks ago as over ridden with bristle worm and lost a lot of fish
Then I’ve found this?

I can see the pic - I see what looks like a critter with a dark shell on the top, a black proboscis with two little antennae on the left, and a black skirt/mantle below the shell.

Is it a stomatella?

Happen to be looking in my tank and saw this little fella creeping? He didnt come out all the way, so couldn't see if he has a shell or not, but from what I've searched and found online says it's a stomatella. Wanted to post if here and see if someone else could tell me if that is the correct...

All of those - and the critter in your picture - are Black Stomatella snails; good CUC.

We had to get rid of live rock a few weeks ago as over ridden with bristle worm and lost a lot of fish

You lost a lot of fish because of the bristle worms? Or you lost a lot of fish when you pulled the rock because of the bristle worms? Just curious. I love my bristle worms and not to be a Debbie downer but unless you completely stripped the tank don't be surprised if they begin reappear.

Not because of the bristle worm. We had 10 that we know off. But when the live rock was put it fish started dying and so far we have lost 8 even though the water was tested and all ok!
Bristle worms creep me out! And one was huge…. But we have taken live rock out now and going back to basics

These cute guys? I love em. They are a great part on my CUC

Omg! Are you ******** me! !!!!

I’m now really weirded out! Was going to get an arrow crab but they looked like something out of “The War of the Worlds”

Did you put any back in to replace it? The 'basics' for a marine system starts with live rock (porous) surface hosting bacteria to break down waste. Unique to marine/diff than fw. Suppose tons of sand, bio bricks, sponges could work but... The worms did not kill the fish

I know the bristle worms never killed fish! But they freaked me out.
I’m not sure where to buy live Rick from now on as I do think something went wrong as soon as we put live in
