also, can yall help me id these things? what kind of coral is on the snail? is that some kind of coral cirlced on the LR rubble? its hard and spiny... and what all the stuff growin on my LR in the last pic? Theres some really bright green algae looking things, so brown macro, some purple and maroon coraline....but then also some stuff that looks like white coraline. is it dead coraline? i swaer the white part is growing, but there wasnt any live coraline there to begin with...

Hard to ID your circled items as they're really small.

I hope your cycle is over though since you added the cleaner shrimp. Invertebrates are very intolerable of high nitrates and really need levels to be under 10ppm and preferably 0ppm. To answer your question though, two of them will be just fine in a 20g tank. :D

The stuff groing on your liverock is just typical marine life. I see macro algae and coralline mostly.

Not a clue as to what's growing on your snail's shell though.

The pic with the red circles is too far away to tell,my guess pom-pom xenia.As far as what's on the snail,it looks like some type of sps.Try to get a close-up pic of the stuff in the red circles.I would also try posting in the Reef Discussion forum.
