New critter

Okay, I was staring (again) at my tank and saw slow movement on one of the rocks. I tried to take a pic real quick (and will work on a better one). Can anyone identify this? Is this a baby snail?

It appears to be some sort of stomatella snail... a harmless beneficial snail that commonly hitchhikes into ou tanks via live rock.

Looks like you have a positive ID. Don't be alarmed if you see any of them expelling little clouds of whitish fluid into the water column, that is just how they release eggs/sperm

HTH :mrgreen:
