Look what I just found. Must have been a hitchhiker since I don’t think I have any of these. They look like turbos to me. So tiny though. Love the things that pop up every now and then.

I believe those are full grown Collonista snails. They are harmless hitchhikers of live rocks that breed in captivity and graze on algae.
Edit: Actually, they might become a little larger, but not by much.
 
Yep colonista snails they grow bigger, I have a few full grown ones now about the size of a corn kernel
 
I saw them a few weeks ago I think. I remember tiny white specks which were still at the time. But I think it must have been them. Can’t believe they’re snails that are just so tiny. Hope I see some more. I know my stomatella are breeding. Maybe these will too. I’ve seen other snails spawn too but no babies except the stomatella so far.
