Zoas and similar corals (palythoa, protopalythoa)...

Zoas and similar corals (palythoa, protopalythoa) can certainly grow long stalks, especially if they are in low light. I have some zoas in my tank with stalks that are > 1 cm.

It could be zoa or similar polyp, but it could also be a anemone like aiptasia or majano or corynactis.

It can be hard to ID polypoid things until they get larger.

I am using a Current USA Sunpod 2 x 150W HQI hood for my 70g Tech. It's plenty of light for what I keep (LPS and zoanthids), but they also make a 2 x 250W version.

I have 4 different colors of candy canes and none of them like bright light. Some of them started to bleach when placed in direct light but got their color back after being moved lower in the tank.

I agree that they are collonista snails. They are good algae grazers and are mainly nocturnal. Their population will grow to what their food supply can support.

Re: Some new pics of my LPS tank

Very nice! What is the red coral in the upper right of this picture? Is it a cynarina or something else?

I ran one of these on a 37g setup. It's better than nothing, but is really expensive for what you get. The skimmer isn't the best but will produce some skimmate.

Instead of putting the bio-media...

If the glass center brace is too hot, the fish could stick to it and then cook, or at the very least get burned. :(
