This just came blasting to the front of my tank from my powerhead. It's pretty fast, faster than your average snail like creature. It's very low profile and I haven't gotten a good picture of it from the top yet. Should I remove it? Anyone ID it?

This is the best one I got from behind it. You can see the long foot and the tiny little shell.

Salty good or bad
Sooooo Gooood!
Will breed in the tank, so free cuc basicly. come in amazing colors. Once the food source wanes so does the population sadly.

@Areseebee we should look at the algse in the first pic. Its Bryopsis like.:mad:
 
Agreed Stomatella, good guy, and they can really move. Basically film algae eaters, come in many colors ( pink, white, black, grey).
 
Oh man ok. I feel bad for messing with him so much. He did NOT want to get in my net. I got a picture of him on his way back though.

Yeah, It's just recently exploded. I was considering Fluconazole but was worried about my cleaner shrimp.

if its a feather or fern its the bryo. ugg....
I could totally be wrong on that Id too..its kinda almost close, but might not be.
 
I think it is. I've been on the edge about treating for it I have an ATS that is just getting going and I'm hoping that will out compete the bryopsis but I'm not holding my breath.
