ID on Sand worms and a leopard-print snail

[JoJosReef]

Below full post on my build thread, but I went hunting for worms last night and came up with a few I haven't been able to ID yet. Holding them aside to ID before introducing them to my office tank.

My Yasha didn't make an appearance for 2 months after I put him into my main tank. I had written him off as dead. But one night I randomly saw him sticking his head out from a hole under the scape in the back. I can't remember the last time I got so excited lol. He took another 3 months after...

I have about 5 of these. Very earthworm-like. Possibly genus Pareurythoe? Hard to see caruncles, though. Maybe a Lumbrinerid? Possibly capitellids aka "lugworms"?

At first, I thought this snail was a baby marginella snail. I had added 2 marginellas to the Evo a few months back. What is odd is that I only found one, though, and would have expected more if breeding were occurring. It is tiny. Smaller than a dwarf cerith. Zooming in, it has a leopard pattern on it that leaves me wondering what it actually is and if it is a nice snail or not. Possibly a predatory whelk?

Thanks!

Snail is a whelk snail and while worm looks like a large bristleworm, im not seeing the bristles. Whelk will eat other snails. Could also be what is called a lumbrinerid worm

Awesome, thanks! I'm thinking that the earthworm-like worms are safe to add. Whelk will have to go, unfortunately. Hope to get a clam one day and don't want risky snails like that.
