Here is the best pictures I can get with this camcorder.
So I have little swimming tiny worm looking things there teeny I cant even get a picture. I got bugs running around on my rocks to which I believe is good but right? they move real quick.

Then I get these worm suction cup looking things, They loook like there back is sand. The rock I got from the lfs was so full of purple coraline and green. The guy said he thinks they even took some out of there tank why its so full. I got a few rock pics but I burried some crazy purple rocks to!!

I had them set up real nice then had to mess around with em of course lol
In the end my arms were soaked I was at witts end. Sure I was gonna catch something from this water lol. If you guys got any ideas for rock setup just holler. I feel like I have way to much.

Looks like some nice rock to me, from what I can somewhat see. I hate to say it, but those photos are really, really bad. Even on my 47" screen, I can't make out what they are. The first is very blurry and my best guess from that is Stomatella, but that could be far off, because I can't see it.
 
Yeah I took em with our video camera. I dropped the gfs digital in the dog water dish during our move haha. Sucked so bad brand new 10. something megapixel. Floating like a boat in the giant water dish :(
 
Well if it is Stomatella which is unlikely, here is some information

Stomatella

Stomatella snails are small fast-moving snails that look more like slugs than regular snails, although they do have small flat shells. There are several species available in the aquarium trade among which Stomatella varia is the most common. Stomatella snails can be bought in fish stores, but are also frequently brought into the aquarium with live rock. It can be hard to know exactly which species one keep if they have been introduced with live rock. They are 100% reef safe. Stomatella snails grow to be less than an inch (2.5 cm), and Stomatella varia will typically stay smaller than ¾ inch (1.9 cm). Stomatella snails come in a wide variety of colors from darker color such as grey, black and green to softer color such as orange and pinkish.

Stomatella snails are mainly night active but can be out and about in the day time as well. The best time to observe them is during the night using a flashlight. When your snails are most active depends on the exact species of Stomatella snail you keep in your aquarium.

Stomatella snails are beneficial for reef aquariums as they are herbivores that will help control micro algae growth. They should not be kept with wrasses such as the four and six line wrasse or certain shrimps like the peppermint shrimp as these predators might eat the snails and be able to quickly decimate a population.

Stomatella snails are just like all other snails very sensitive towards copper and you should not use copper based medications in an aquarium containing these or other snails. There is a large risk that the snails will die and pollute the water.
 
Thats what sucks :( I cant get a good **** picture of the thing. Camera shoots awesome video and ****ty pictures for some odd reason
 
Here I will go and try again see if I can get something better they move quick these things grr
