Is this a stomatella snail?

[Nihil]

I used to have a ton of stomatellas in my old tank. I loved them and they spawned all the time. I would grab them whenever I saw them at my old local reef store when they hitchhiked in. The last photo you posted I believe are spionid worms.

Thank you f

Pineapple sponges are harmless - actually beneficial filter feeders so just leave them alone. You will see plenty of other life as you go down the road! Good luck and enjoy your tank!
As far as your latest photo I’m sorry but I can’t identify what that is. Maybe someone else can help with that one. I would say if you’ve dipped it and it’s still there it’s probably best to just leave it!

Thank you for all your help

Thank you, will have a read up on them and see what I’m in for.

While those may be pineapple sponges, you are still likely correct. The stomatella is one of the few snails that will readily spawn in our aquariums. I started with just a few, but eventually had a ton of them, and they kept my tank super clean! I tried to start a little breeding tank for them, but it didn't work out. I would bet money that they are not sold in the hobby because they are such prolific multipliers.

Thank you, will just watch and see what happens

Look up coral boring spionid worms. You may want to remove that frag or try super gluing them.
