Question What is this!?!?

I foun this semi burried under the sand. It appears to be a worm with long thin strands all over his body. Sorry I couldn't get a good picture from inside the tank.



This is like oval shaped with a dark spot in the middle. It doesn't move like a flat worm at all it just sits there until I hit it with the scrubber then it just falls off but it is living.

Top is a spaghetti worm. Good thing. Will some times irritate corals on the substrate.

Second appears to be a limpet. Also a good thing. Great cleaners. ( if that's a hard shell on the other side of the photo)

I dont think its a limpet. Looks like my hitch hiker chitons. Both are good regardless, spaghetti worm too, put them back.

Just look on the dorsal surface of #2 and if you count 8 sections of shell then it is a chition.
