Hello everyone,

2 months in saltwater tank hobby. Loving it so far. And R2R is amazing with its community and guides.

I have one snail (without a shell) hanging on my glass. Will move around a lot throughout the day. Has tripled in size in the last 6 days. The other snail looking critter on my magic Zoa was noted today. Along side same Zoa has some strings with a 4 or 5 star arm hanging out. Really really small. But had those on for 6 days (since purchase).

Also, not sure what’s coming off the top of my acropora. Purchased like this and some webs were coming off assumed it was mucus. But the sprout at the top is now worrisome.

Also I don’t have a pic but believe caught a a brittle starfish. Removed it thinking it was bad. 5 arms and white body with dots on the arms. Any help on these two snails and the top of my acroporas would be appreciated. Thanks!
