Don't know what this is, but maybe someone does. Saw it last night for the first time. In case the photo is hard to see, it has a snail-like body with little tubes running down it's side. I can't tell which end is the head.

It's a nudibranch. I can't tell from the picture, but it's either a dendronotacean or aeolid (probably the former). In either case it will eat cnidarians and isn't reef safe.

YUCK! I thought you would be showing a pic. of the bean you found, which also resembles something snail-like.

I will, but I couldn't get a good picture of it. Hopefully the feedback on that unknown creature will be more promising.
