This guy moves around quite a bit and really cruises the glass like a snail.
 
I can help you a little. The snail is a buccinid whelk, probably either a Gemophos or Cantharus or Pollia. They all behave about the same, and well predate on something, usually barnacles or other snails. The thing that looks like a nudibranch is..a nudibranch. It appears to be one of the sponge-eating dorids, so it shouldn't be a problem in your tank.

Cheers,



Don
 
Thanks so much for the quick replies :D Guess the snails gotta go lol
Luckily it's in the refugium so won't be too tough to fish out.
