I hope. I am going ahead and running a qt on my fish so the tank can go fishless just in case a disease is responsible for the deaths but it really started getting me upset pulling fat perfectly healthy looking fish knowing how many were lost to whatever it was. I mean my tang is like an inch wide lol. Hopefully I can succeed after this

As far as reef safe critters, i have pulled 2 red mithrax crabs. A brittle star. Another peanut. Orange limpet. 2 pencil urchins. Think all but the urchins will be going back.

The snail in bottom center looks like a bumble bee
I would agree with you but all the bumble bee snails I have ever seen have had more of a smooth shell with a rounded tip. This one looks ridged with a pointed tip. Also bumble bee snail tend to have a "fatter" shell
I may be wrong because I am just basing this off of the bumble bee snails I have seen.

The one I took the two close ups of is not a bumble. I think three in the cup are. They are very much overgrown with crud though making it hard to determine. I don't think they are native to the gulf so they would have had to come from what was left of my 120s cuc.

I happen to have 13 turbos. 9ish trochus and some cerths [emoji33] . The rest are all questionable lol. My snails really got hammered thanks to the mantis shrimps, crash and who knows what else. I do forsee a new cuc package in my future.
