Hitchhiked on a favia

[micahsoft]

Any idea what it is? I yanked it off the bottom of a piece of coral I put in my tank.

It’squite small, relatively quick, snail like body, and sort of a shell. Also has antennae as long as it’s body.

Probably a collanista snail but an image in a bag is of not much help. When you acclimate, wiggle it gently loose and place in a container and take a pic or two under white light

Collanista:

Looks like a stomatella snail.

I’ll increase the light. I took it off the coral and it’s just sitting in the bag in a container.

Stomatella, drop it in your tank and enjoy the free CUC.

 

[micahsoft]

He’s kinda cute. Is it something I shouldn’t risk keeping?

 

[ReefBeta]

They're great CUC. Works as well as snails.

 

[Big C]

Drop it in!

 

[micahsoft]

Thanks. In he goes.

+1 on stomatella snail.

 

[micahsoft]

Hopefully the peppermint shrimp doesn’t eat him.

Hah! I got a shipment about 3 hours ago and posted a pic of the exact same critter. Got the same feedback (stomatella). It is now a resident of my tank.

+1 on stomatella- no issues - these are good guys. Nothing to worry about
