No shell, about 1/2 inch long, just curious what it is and if I need to remove it, tanks been set up for about a year and I've never seen it before, lights were out when I saw it on the glass. Thanks guys!

Stomatella snails are small fast-moving snails that look more like slugs than regular snails, although they do have small flat shells. There are several species available in the aquarium trade among which Stomatella varia is the most [COLOR=black !important][COLOR=black !important]common[/COLOR][/COLOR]. Stomatella snails can be bought in fish stores, but are also frequently brought into the aquarium with live rock. It can be hard to know exactly which species one keep if they have been introduced with live rock. They are 100% reef safe. Stomatella snails grow to be less than an inch (2.5 cm), and Stomatella varia will typically stay smaller than ¾ inch (1.9 cm). Stomatella snails come in a wide variety of [COLOR=black !important][COLOR=black !important]colors[/COLOR][/COLOR] from darker color such as grey, black and green to softer color such as orange and pinkish.

Sounds good to me, I had just never seen it before, he was moving a lot faster than all the other snails is why it caught my eye, maybe I'll enter it in the annual snail races
