New creatures? Should I be worried?

It's a snail type thing.

 

[Xbreakxitxdownx]

stomatella snail.he's good.

 

[Xbreakxitxdownx]

So just eats allege?

 

[SeeingGreen]

Stomatella... Good critter.

 

[Waters]

Yes, they will eat algae. They also multiple like crazy.....you normally only see them when the lights are off. They are a good member of your CUC.

Yah when I bought my live rock I guess they were hiding in it haha because I turned my light on to see show my tank I was like um... I didn't buy snails.

The stomatellas in my reef routinely feed my corals in addition to eating algae.

You got it Jason my new tank is riddle with life!!

 

[jasonp87]

The life only continues to multiply as the tank matures. A good investment for watching it is an LED flashlight with a red filter. Wait until the tank and room have been dark a while then shine it in there, you will see all kinds of stuff.
