RSC, thanks, I had been there before but hadn't visited in a while... looks like the unidentified snail like critter is a keyhole limpet, I also found a Vermetid gastropod, the red and purple bristle worms are of course nice and common beneficials (pretty much knew they would be) and the mini-stars and spaghetti worms match up perfectly. only thing that I can't find is my one tentacled guys poking out of rocks... look like bristle worms but are stationary and appear to be some type of filter feeder. I am excited about all this diversity.

I have also decided that I am going to make a stop at a tidepool on my vacation in south padre at the end of july and grab some sand and algae and put it in a 10 gallon tank to see what happens.
