    What the heck is this?

    It's called the clam's byssus, or byssal threads. Cheers, Don

    4 new IDs please :)

    That's what I feared. It's their standard M.O., although I've never seen one on frogspawn before.

    found this in my fuge...

    Gotcha. It is a snail of course, just one from a fairly ancient family. I think it's a Diodora species. Here are some for your comparison:...

    Sea Monsters!

    I think the feather-dustery things are part of the barnacles. The thing with the mouth that lives in the barnacle cone is also a barnacle :) The...

    Yes, it's a keyhole limpet. It looks kind of odd, but it may just be my imagination. I'd guess it isn't one of the species that is likely to eat...

    4 new IDs please :)

    The Coralliophila eat very slowly, but may start doing more damage as they get larger. I've never seen one eating Frogspawn, but then again, I've...

    Resolved what are these things

    He won't release toxins in your tank when he dies, but I suspect he's not going to live very long. This is another one of the obligate sponge-eating...

    4 new IDs please :)

    The last one is a Coral Shell, probably in the genus Coralliophila or it could be a Babelomurex, as they can look a lot alike. They feed on corals....

    Id this... Please

    It's actually a "Fleshy Limpet," which is a kind of keyhole limpet. It's either a Lucapina or Lucapinella species, most likely. They have been...

    took me a while to find out what this is.

    LOL Well, that's the problem with common names. To me, if they're puffy, they're Sea Biscuits. If they are flat, they are Sand Dollars. To others...

    It's a Sea Biscuit, which is of course an echinoderm related to the sand dollars (and sea urchins). They can crawl, but not very fast, and usually...

    Lighting Whelk and Lettered Olive

    The Lightning Whelk is probably starving, although it might be subsisting on something else. I seem to recall that they've been caught in crab traps...

    tick?

    Ya, it does look a lot like some of the ones that show up in reef tanks, except for the shape of the thorax/carapace. The only ones I'd ever seen...

    Slug ID

    You're close, it's almost a sea hare...at least, it's a harmless sacoglossan slug. Any slugs that have the slits down their backs are ALL harmless....

    large snails

    Hey somethingfish, They are most likely Turbo species, which will be safe algae eaters. You could probably keep 2 or 3 in a 150 if they are...

    tick?

    Could be, but the carapace looks too wide to be a sea spider. And of course, it's not climbing on zoa's, which I'd guess it should be if it were a...
