Looks like stomatella snails, good algae eater.

That is indeed an army on your side! Stomatellas

Agreed, stomatella. You did an awesome job getting those pictures! A lot of ID requests are a spec and some fuzz on a rock in the back of the tank

well done!

No worries on that. I've easily got a couple hundred in my nuvo 20. They don't really stick out until at night when they gather on the glass. Reminds me of street sweepers in the city.

Yeh know what you mean, mine remind me of a deranged team of carpet cleaners sucking away at office carpets all over the uk

I was going with Mongolia hoards. But snails work as well

@sheyandpete that is one sick looking art piece above your tank. In addition you have a great looking tank.
