need ID URGENT

went walking along the beach this morning low tide and picked up some little critters. Some bigger though as you can see.
What are they and are the reef safe? Can I add them i the tank or better put back?

The small snails are Nassarius, and will be fine in your tank. I don't know enough about the sea cucumber to give any advice, but the big hermit will probably cause trouble.

Cheers,

any other advise?
Put the snails in the tank allready
The round ones seem sand dollars and are added and burried under the gravel allready.

Snails I agree are ok and hermits will cause trouble for sure. Sand dollar and cucumber will probably be destined to die in your tank. Cuke is a filter feeder and will need a mass amount of food and same with the sand dollar. Only keep the sand dollar if your tank is huge 180-240 gallons or it will run out of food to eat in the sand and die.

I wish people would leave life they have no idea about in the ocean. It's all well and good if you bring something home with a plan and the knowledge to keep it alive but these "I threw a bunch of stuff in my tank was that a bad idea lol?" are really irresponsible and not fair to the living things that have been condemned to death due to ignorance and a complete lack of concern for their welfare.
