Not sure if these pics will work, but I am wondering what these are? Found them yesterday while rearanging the tank, and taking the lava rock out.

the first guy looks liek a little centepide! I actually took him out, gut feeling was that he isnt a friendly critter. Second pic shows a snail, but there was a little shrimp loking critter underneath him. what is this? Is it okay?

First one is a bristleworm, IMO, great to have. Second is an amphipod. Also good to have.

Thanks for the quick reply! So I guess I can leave any future "centepides" alone! This is great. Crazy how many living things are still on the rocks that were in a rubbermaid, in the trunk of my car for a few hours. lol

I'll post an updated pic later on or tomorrow, the tank is looking pretty bare without that Lava rock.

I may add in some clowns this weekend too, And I am considering cinnamon/fire clownfish
