Lately I have notice these dudes I have seen one on the live rock and one on a hermit crab shell. Right know I have a clean up crew with no shrimp sea star or urchin and a scooter blennie. Does anybody know what it is?

Vermedit snail?

Vermedit snail?

Harmful?

 

[Crabs McJones]

Harmful?

Yes and no. They're harmless for the most part, but they can overpopulate quickly if there is to much food in the tank, and their mucus web has been known to annoy corals.

Do you know any way to get rid of them.

Nutrient control is your best weapon against them. Otherwise a small dab of super glue on the end of the tube starves them out

If you like straight into the center of the picture, the tiny spines on the rock.

Not on the top of the rock but on the straight side in one of the dark spots.
