Can anyone point me to a definitive guide to all of the hitchhikers that one would find in their tank (worms, parasites, etc)

Deanos,
Thanks for those links.I just had a little panic,when I found these pods in my filter medium that where about 1/4 inch long. I have all kinds of pods but never seem them that big and in my filter floss ...so I panicked..thanks to your links...found out they're harmless..just a little overgrown and well nouriched I guess.

Craig,

I really like the name of this thread. If something more formal ever gets put up we should use this name for it.

Pyramid snails, "exclusive to clams"? they were all over my turbos. I see them less and less due to manual removal

got a usb microscope for my bday. found these thingys in my tank:

#1-no idea what these are but they are tiny and all over the side of my tank

#2- think these might be baby snail eggs (saw a similar pic in this thread)

#3 no idea what this is if its a barnacle or a work or something. but it has these 2 tentacles that move around and these fan like appendages
