Stuff in my Nano Tank

[NemoNano]

Hi guys,

I have a black snail looking this in my tank. I have a picture of it. Is this bad?

I also have a centipede looking thing in my tank it had antennas on its head it does not look like a bristle worm. It is real fast and will not let me tank a picture of it. It is a clear brown color. Is this bad?

Thanks,

Eric

the picture is not the best but it looks like a stomanella snail
they are safe
as for the worm it with out a pic it is hard to say but I think it sounds it could be a spagetti worm they are also safe Intrested to see what others think :mrgreen:

I was thinking the same thing, a snail and spaghetti worm. Spaghetti worms are excellent detritivores and stomatella snails are safe too.

perhaps a better pic looks like a pod not sure tho if it is it is harmless :mrgreen:

looks like an normal amphopod for me.

NOTE: Amphipods are little "bugs" you may see scurrying about your live rock - especially after lights out. These little critters are beneficial scavengers and are very common.
