The white round guys are harmless filter feeders .Spirorbid Snails – Reef Safe

However the other looks like a zoa eating Nudibranch.
 
I can't seem to find a matching picture for any of those...
maybe Vayssierea felis? They seem to only be on the glass where there are a lot of the spirobid guys are and i can see their mouths moving like a snails does when they eat algae from the glass.
 
does not look like nudi to me... here's what they look like.. comes in all colors, usually the color of the zoa they are eating

can you take a picture of their top view? does it have a flat cap?

from the bottom it could be stomenella snails, good for your tank.

Not anything like those, very smooth like a snail you would find in the garden. And they are not on any corals, just glass with some algae and spirobib worms. I'm thinking they are eating those and are called Vayssierea felis. Anyone else had them before?
 
No shell like a stomanela. ...very slug looking. I will try to get a picture of the tops later this evening or tomorrow
 
Not sure if those would be eggs? By the way, these are all in my sump.

I'm pretty sure it's Vayssierea felis, just from watching them and researching. I did look at all links provided in this thread and none really match exactly what I'm seeing. So, given that I say Vayssierea felis and I will continue to enjoy watching the little buggers! Thank you all for helping though.
