ID on a bunch of hitchhikers

[Sweetp]

So I've been taking pictures of things on my rock...
We have tons of things that have been showing up.. I've taken some pictures so if anyone knows what anything is.. let me know

We saw this guy last night at 4 am.. he's so gorgeous...

This thing is solid orange during the day..and only opens up at night with muted lights?
Clearish tenticals with balls at the ends...

I think this may be one of those bad anemoni?? it's reddish brown?

This is a little bubbley/nubby coral maybe?? (on the left)

Some really cool light pink flower looking things... they are on a vine along the ridge and then above it is a solid peice with flowery nubs?

Pictures of our Brittleworm.. he doesn't wait til night to come out either..

Little black and white stripped snail in the center?

Pictures of our Tank so far:

great camera!
where did you get this rock?
you have what appears to be a bumble bee snail, some kind of clove polyps, aptasia(the evil little anemone :twisted: ), and i don't even know what that crazy mollusc looking thing is. and no good on the weird slug like creature with the tenti-balls either.
interesting hitckhikers. i hope those 2 psychedelic ones aren't predatory.

The worm looking thing next to the snail is a bristle worm. Not a problem unless they get big.

Here is the info that i got from someone on another forum

--------------------------------
#1-2 is a juvenile abalone. They're some of the coolest grazers out there!
#3- ball tip anomone, they are actually a type of mushroom. more than likely its a Corynactis sp. they are harmless for the most part, but will spread quickly in the tank. or cup coral
#4- aptasia
#6- daisy polyps
#7- the second to last pic...and I could be totally wrong on this - but it looks like a lesser starlet coral, Siderastrea Radians.

The last one looks like a bumblebee snail (Engina sp.). They're often sold as scavengers, but they're actually small predatory whelks. They only feed on very small critters though and not in huge amounts so they're relatively harmless.

---------------------------------------

Bought the rock at 2 different local shops here in Chicago.. both time they had been cured in their tank for quite awhile.. it was expensive ($10-$12lb.) but worth it.. and is beautiful We picked all the individual pieces!

that is NOT an abolone snail

 

[SnowManSnow]

at least not one that ive seen

 

[Sweetp]

if it's not an abolone.. then what is it?? I love him already.. don't wanna have to take him out LOL

 

[Anonymous]

It is an abalone

 

[Anonymous]

Definitely an abalone of some type - no mistaking the foot / shell / eyes on one.

Very cool hitchiker!

 

[SnowManSnow]

I've just never seen them colored up like that.. hmm

my mistake.

 

[Anubis1]

yeah, he's an abalone... the holes on the side of the shell are a dead giveaway...

3- This a really common hitchhiker, mostly harmless and opens at night to catch food. I see them all the time at work, however I forget what type of anemone it is.
5-This coral is hard to say. You would need to check to see if it has a hard skeleton and what it looks like at night. It could be a gonipora or a number of other corals.
6- Looks like you have green star polyp with some daisy/clove polyp below it.
