Thank you.

You are certainly welcome. They are typically not for sale, so finding one in your tank is always a great thing. I recently found one in my tank. They primarily come out at night when the lights go out.

Bonus: Unlike most snails these can reproduce in reef tanks, so can provide a self sustaining CUC population.

You are typically right however I bought 6 from TSA, I never saw them for sale prior.

I got two on purpose. I bought a Neon Goby from Petco just for the free Stomatella and then again with a small Zoa frag. I ended up with a bunch of babies. Definitely a happy hitchhiker to find!
