 Well I have my tank set up and I guess it is cycling. I put in 40 #s of LS and 30 #s of live rock that is awsome I think. The LR I got had a ton of clams, snails and bristle worms on it. It also has a lot of plant life that I have no idea what it is. So far everything seems to be doing well. The snails are all over the tank and the clams are open all the time.

 
Here is a pic of one of my hitch hikers. The snail is in the middle of the pic in the hole. It came out and was cruising around the tank after this pic. Anyone have an idea of what kind of snail it is? It's pretty flat with what looks like a hole with little feelers comming out of the point on the top I guess this is how it breathes? There is some other different ones in there and my brother said he thought one looked like an abalone snail, but didn't know what kind.
 
 
 
Here is a pic of the tank.
 
 
 
I look forward to getting some more pics for you as my tank progresses.

I totally agree with you. Last night I was looking my tank over and just under my branched piece of LR I noticed what looked to be little black spikes poking out of a hole. Awhile later I looked again and I had a tiny sea urchin making his way out of the LR. Pretty amazing stuff considering he was out of the water from FL to SLC and then from the store in SLC to my house in Tooele.

Kind of looks like an astrea snail. But I think I know what you're talking about. But I'd like to know too cause I may have one as well

Well I was able to get a few pics of my urchin and I am thinking it is a pencil urchin?
