I have a baby snail!

[Cjud7982]

I know it's probably sort of lame and not that uncommon. But my tank has been fallow for a couple months and I am noticing my inverts loving it. Pod population booming, shrimps fat and happy, hermits keep growing an molting and snails having a field day. This is the first time I've seen a baby turbo snail!!! I just wanted to share lol

Looks like a little limpet. Very cool

What is a limpet? I have never heard of this. Is it another species of marine snails or just a young snail? I only have 2 kinds of turbos, a few nassarius, and conch. Cant imagine it being a hitch hiker because I set this tank up with cured LR and dry sand. Just looking for some more info exciting regardless

Limpet ate a type of snail there' many kinds...they are prolific breeders. And probably came in on a frag very tiny...the only limpet I worry about are the keyholes and the black scutus they are reported to dine on SPS coral
