Hi, I have two different subjects that need ID-ing.

First,
I've been battling Amphidinium Dinoflagellates and have been dosing Silica (Brightwell's SpongExcel) to encourage diatoms.
Here's the first shot. Looks to me like possibly pennate diatom. Thoughts?

Second,
Just recently dipped a coral and a few of these worms fell off. They look pretty neat under the microscope. Any idea what they are?
