What is your process to catch these guys Jim? Reef tank? What do you leave on / turn off?

@Adam: My 210 display is really more of a FOWLR tank. The Bluestripe pipefish broodstock live in there, and every 4 nights, I turn off all pumps and all lights in the room, and use a Chad Vossen larval snagger to catch the pipefish fry. Some nights, I catch some unintended volunteers. These were inadvertently caught last night. @Luis: I looked at some under the scope, and to me, they look more like snails than bivalves right now. More of a cup-shaped shell with a slight spiral turn, and not a hinged structure, at least at this stage.

Looks like snail or nudibranch veligers to me.
