Yes, I have already a fairly large bristleworm, I had gotten a nice mushroom coral at LFS which is on a snail she'll with bunch of baby shrooms too I dipped it But, I know I saw a worm inside of the shell before dipping and I couldnt get it out yet... Any tips I had to just place the shell in a bowl floating in my tank for warmth and light temporarily though... Can't identify that yet though.
Thank u so much.Collonista Snail

These adorable little Collonista snails are often mistaken for baby Turbo snails, but they are a different species. These common hitchhikers only grow to about 1/4″ and reproduce in captivity easily. They are great at eating algae and even eat some species of algae that are difficult to get rid of. The only downside is that they may clog pumps and equipment if their population is allowed to go unchecked.
Awesome yeah it's a great idea! Just no flow sadly but it's a great temporary idea for some things

This species of sea snails can be such a nuisance because vermetid snails are harmful to both corals and fish tank owners’ budget as our experts have often pointed out. The snails latch onto corals’ spongy and irregular surface and they can stunt their skeletal development. What’s more, they can suck the life out of corals and kill them. Luckily, there are ways to fight them off!
