Help with hitchhiker Id.

[jiffyjhn]

Hi there.

got this hitchhiker in new zoanthids today. Looks like some kind of nudibranch . Need some help to id. Good or bad?

Looks like a harmless Stomatella snail.

@brmreefer is correct, it’s a stomatella, beneficial detritus/algae eater.

Thanks all. Threw it in the tank.

I feel like these snails put everyone in a panic. Seems to be the most common hitch hiker question.
Why can't I get more of those to pop up on my live rock?

Some person said they had hundreds in their tank and was complaining. You can get them on eBay but they are expensive.
I told that person to sell them.

If you have several they all get on something and spawn into the water at the same time.

I know. My last reef had them everywhere. Loved those guys. This time, I only have 1.
