Deleted User 3 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Pic 1 - Snail? Pic 2 - Feather dusters on the rock? I am afraid they might be some type of hydroids. Can anyone identify these? collonistas and look like feather dusters like you said, not hydroids. Link to comment
altolamprologus Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 First one is a collonista snail. They're good and will reproduce in your tank I can't tell what the second is, almost looks like dead algae Link to comment

zemuss Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 Not the bubble algae the little feather dusters next to them. I can try to get a better picture. I will add the snails back then.. I found them on top of each other and was like WTF is that? Link to comment
Deleted User 3 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Lol no, i press the circle next to the address bar or re-enter the address bar Not the bubble algae the little feather dusters next to them. I can try to get a better picture. I will add the snails back then.. I found them on top of each other and was like WTF is that? They look like feather dusters to me. And yeah sometimes my snails are on top of each other, must be cleaning Link to comment
altolamprologus Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I wasn't referring to the bubble algae. The fluffy #### looks like dead hair algae. Do the "feathers" retract when disturbed? Or do they just sit there no matter what happens? Link to comment
zemuss Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 when i squirt water on the rocks they retract. The collonistas snails I have a bunch of them. Wow haven't paid this close attention to my reef in over 5 months. Link to comment

Wow haven't paid this close attention to my reef in over 5 months. Do they retract quickly, like into tubes, or do they just kinda shrivel up? Link to comment
zemuss Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 They retract into the rock no tubes. Well the tubes might be in the rock work. Link to comment
altolamprologus Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 They retract into the rock no tubes. Well the tubes might be in the rock work. That's weird. A better, more detailed pic would be nice. Link to comment
zemuss Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 Whats the weird part? This is about as clear i can get them.. I only have a camera on my phone. Link to comment
altolamprologus Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Whats the weird part? This is about as clear i can get them.. I only have a camera on my phone. The fact that they go into the rocks. Check out this website to try to find what they are. They may very well be feather dusters, but I've never seen that many burrowed into the same rock like that. Link to comment
zemuss Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 feather dusters it seems.. http://www.xtalworld.com/Aquarium/hitchfaq.htm Link to comment
Deleted User 3 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Thought so. I have some in the rock holes, and i have this one piece of rock that broke off, like a 2x2" that has a colony on it ha ha! but those have tubes outside. Link to comment
zemuss Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 Cool. Well the rock is flat and I haven't moved it because it is a over hang and glues down (kinda). Thanks for the help. Link to comment
chrssprngs Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Good news, c. snails. Bad news, a dark stranger will soon enter your life. Link to comment
albertthiel Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Can anyone identify these? Pic 2 : hard to say due to lack of a lot of detail but it does not look like Hydroids IMO Pic 1: you got several answers that it is collonista snail Link to comment
