Just wondering what i have in my tank..First saw them on my bumble bee snail. It is white, kinda see through, has a leafy appearece. It is connected by what looks like a string to the snail, and on the live rock. its not on anything else that i've seen. it seem to recoil into a ball every so often like a feather duster..any id would be great thanks.
 
I have no idea what is on your snail but I can tell you that bumblebee snails are predatory. In other words, they will eat your good snails. You need to remove it. They are not made to eat algae and deitrius, only other snails.
 
have two large turbos in there. they have not touched them. I like them they lived through hell(with cycling) to be where they are now. They actually sift what little sand they can 'cause of there size. How do they kill other snails? They also seem to go after anything that has died which is nice since the mean hermit i have killed 4 others. The snails ate them right up ;) no need to remove.

can anyone else help with the critters i have?
 
no.. it seems like it's floating a mm off of the snail and rock. have also found a group of them on the one side of a rock. about 4 or 5..they are really weird.they open for awhile then close quick then open up right away..weird.
they are very small...about the size of a small pin head when closed. I looked up worms but all pics are of full sized ones not babies or whatever ya call 'em.
