What is this creature inside the Petco tank?

How’s it going! I was recently visiting my local Petco and they were resetting the saltwater tanks. The way they were resetting the tanks was they drained all the salt water out and put nothing but fresh water in and all the unseen cleanup crew and what not started dying and this critterwas in the back corner of the tank and they don’t even know what it is lol any information would be amazing! Thanks and happy reefing!!!

The worm on the snail shell is a bristle worm.

I kind of feel bad for the microfauna...

They should just crank the temp to 87 and wait a month, then the fauna would still be there to clean and pods for fish to eat.
