Any idea what this thing is? I have seen it a few times before, it sora reminds me of an alevapora polyp.

Ok thanks! It looks like a mouth in the middle. It's hard to see. I made a video of it so you can see a little better.

Ptyochromis, that looks like a daisy polyp to me.

Makes sense, it does close up at night. Its like 1mm across, I didn't think they were that small. The tank has been up for >1 year, I wonder why it is showing up now.

Diamond back worm? Baby Sundial Snails?
Diamond back worm? Baby Sundial Snails?
I've been through all 124 pages here and some I saw might match these but not 100% sure. Checked out Lionfish Lair's guide as well as Chuck's addiction. Let me know if you can help. This is my first post so please bare with me. I know I am rather wordy.

1. Worm with weird markings. Thought maybe a nereid? I have seen tons that I could make out in the past 10 months or so. But have only seen a handful lately. And what is the brown little arm whipping at this worm as it get too close?
2. Tiny worm on glass. I always see these after my water changes. I also have the clear flatworms but can't find anything about this one.
3. I am almost sure this may be a vermatid snail? It's attached to one of my astraea snails. I wasn't sure of it's spiral shell. I hadn't seen any vermatids with this shape.
4. I know the red hair like worms are spaghetti worms but more curious about the little insects scurrying on the sandbed. Are these amphipods? Or are they too small? Some mite perhaps :/
5. In this clip it's a little hard to make out the worm in the center of the video. It looks like a bubbly off-white colored head with two tentacles popping in and out of a little tunnel. Also, more mite looking critters.
6. This is another priority id needed. I have a lot of these snails in my tank and I've seen them crawling on my zoas. I see sundial snails throughout my searches but the coloring is off for these in my tank. Wondering if these snails are okay to have in the tank. They aren't limited to the zooanthids but i'm still new to this so just concerned.
7. No ID needed. I know this is a bristle worm
But another shot of those snails I'm wondering about.

Does anyone know what this creature is? It's the green thing? It had little horn/antennas! Ha
looks like it might be a coral eating nudibranch, maybe eating what it is sitting on. I would dip the colony and be on the lookout for eggs.
