For those of you in countries that do not carry such products as Chemi-clean, you can do the next best thing. Buy the main ingredient of those products at a pharmacy.

Looks like the feeding proboscis of a Sipunculida worm (aka peanut worm) mopping up detritus / left over food particles. Harmless critter.

I would be speculating of course, but in an enclosed space, the odds of the shrimp running into each other eventualy is bound to happen. Might be the next day, might be the next year.

I would also look at getting a brown scopas tang, between it and the snails, I never have one strand of filamentous algae (hair algae) in my display tank, and yet I use such aglae as a turf scrubber,...

I can't really see anything, but some common finds would be a Ctenophore or maybe a Terebellidae worm. I have photo examples of both within my hitch hiker pages.
