So far we have identified 3 feather dusters, 2 aiptasia And now this guy! Some kind of snail that only comes out when light is off and pretty quick moving.

Cant tell 100% by the picture but if it has a flat hard shell on top it is a stomatella.

That is what we were thinking. It is flat

Agree, stomatella snail. Great addition

+1. Good algae grazer that will multiply over time.

Could be a fleshy limpet. What do you mean by "day one"? Is it new rock? Where did you get it? Thanks

Not a fleshy limpet. These have conical shells with a deep orange/red coloration (usually) and a hole at the center. Stomatella have shells that spiral to the side (like an tiny abalone shell without the holes).

Day one means I just set up the tank with live rock and sand to cycle and within hours saw these little hitchhikers. I got the rock at LFS.

Cool, I have had ocean live rock since October 3rd. Still finding live hitchhikers (good and bad).
