Can anyone help me to ID any of these three creatures.
Also can anyone recommend a source that one could use to help ID creatures such as these in the future, such as a website, book, etc. something with pictures to browse.

The snail is a whelk of sorts. Best to get a better picture of it so you can ID it. Some are very beneficial. Some can kill ya ;)
The rock on the top right seems to have a blue sponge on it. Is it a "matt" or does it have a stem. IF it has a stem, it could be a mushroom coralimporph. The thing on the top left could be anything. It looks like it could be a mojano anemone or shriveled up mushrooms too. Get a better picture. Use the macro feature on your digi cam.

Ok I give up trying to get a picture but I did a little searching on the name whelk, and it looks very much like the ones the melev had pictured in his tank journal Melev's Reef: December 2003 | Reef Log (http://www.melevsreef.com/archives/2003_12_01_archive.html) if you do a search for baby whelk and click on the link that is exactly like the one in my tank

Melev has great picture ID stuff! I also think the top right thing is a sponge of sorts.
