Please help ID 4 different tenants living on my frogspawn

I know one is a Feather Duster. I saw it today for the first time, kinda cool... Is this something common? Would it hurt the Frogspawn?

I have no idea what the other are... please excuse the lack of photography skills.

Hard to tell, but the big circle might me a nudibranch.....definitely pull that off.

I can't tell about the two smaller circles....can't see them well....maybe vermetid snails.

And I'm not seeing the tube for your "feather duster". Just make sure it's not aiptasia...again, can't see it well.

2 smaller circles may also be asterina starfish.

Bigger circle looks like a scallop or clam to me? Can't see what I'm looking at in the smaller ones

 

[rvamarcel]

What made me think it might be a feather duster is that it hides exactly like my feather duster does and it has the same colors...

Here are zoomed pics of the other things...

Are any of them mobile or are they affixed to one spot? Other than the duster, do the others have any feelers, mouths, tentacles on them? How new is your hammer? Is it in the display or quarantine tank? Very hard to see pics clearly.

He may have a duster too, im 50/50 on that one. Touch it. Does it shoot into a tube? Think your right about the vermatid snails and nudi. All possible irritations.

 

[stevo01]

Super glue over the vermatid and "glass nem" if it is that.

All the pictures are of the branch/trunk/skeleton of a Frogspawn. It is healthy, as far as I know. I just noticed today it has that feather duster thing that hides whenever Anything gets close.

Here are two more pictures. Please excuse the human hair in the tank, it got to the tank last night during a water change and I was pulling it out when I noticed the invaders...

I meant frogspawn...not hammer. Oops.

The only thing moving (hiding) is the alleged FD. The others are fixed in place, nothing coming out of them. The one that looks like a clam (because of the "ripples" on the edges) has been there since I got it, about three months ago.

It is in my display (and only) tank... It's a 14G Biocube.

Yeah could be a clam, other 2 vermatid, and thats a duster for sure now.

 

[stevo01]

Great looking tank!

So, superglue the vermatid and leave the clam and the fd? No harm to the frogspawn?

Thanks :)

Sounds good to me!

 

[stevo01]

I definitely see thats a clam. Cant tell if its alive or not.

[stevo01]

Absolutely, ive had some that size and smaller.
