Found some new night time creatures

Found these guys the other night. Never noticed them before. I love the bright yellow one. I am hoping they are good for the tank and not bad. Only the yellow one seems so have a tiny shell. The other seems to be like a slug??? Any in put would be nice. As aways thanks for the help.

hard to tell from the pics, so i can't say aboout the yellow one, altho maybe a yellow cuke could be it. the other looks like a Stomatella sp. of bubble shell snail.

Not sure about the yellow one either and for the snail i would say we could possitively ID it if you pull it out and get a picture of the top of the shell and flip it over and get it to close inside of its shell and reveal the oral disk and take a picture. but sometimes that a chore lol.

Just be careful about handling "whatzits" in your tanks. You never know if they are dangerous or not, until you have an ID. Can you imagine, reaching into a LR crevace to try and remove the pretty blue and brown looking worm to find it is the arm of a blue ring octopus?

A LFS owner in New England came across some neat looking snails in his system one day. In the end, someone identified them and they were NOT good. Some kind of "dart snail" that actually shoots some kind of spine and could really make one ill...if not, well... pushing up daisies!

When in doubt, use gloves or tongs or something... yikes!

NO kidding! My five year old neice brought me back a "live snail" from the beach that turned out to be a textile cone! I kept it in a tank of it's own for two years.
