Anybody elses SKimmer alive????

So I went to clean my skimmer today and realized its full of sponges and calcium based tube worms!!! Not just a few but almost every square inch of the inside of my skimmer is covered lol. I tried to get a good pic but my camera sucks. Granted my tank has many sponges in it but this is the only place in the tank that Ive found this species.

I think the tube worms are Spirorbis borealis but I dont know how they got into my system.

You picture is kind of fuzzy, but they might be those snails, name escapes me now, that look like little hard tubes (yes they are stationary)... also found a bunch of sponges growing in my skimmer too

Yeah, I have had the same things in my skimmer in times past. Kind of neat really to see the minature ecosystem
