PLEASE IDENTIFY THIS CREATURE!!

[ConorBishop]

So I know the picture is blurry but I can’t get a great shot. Found this little Slug looking thing in my tank today out of nowhere and wondered why if anyone can identify it and tell me if it could harm my aquarium?

Does it have a shell??

It has 2 tentacles on its head which I’m guessing are it’s eyes which leads me to believe it’s a slug but I have no idea if it will harm its tank mates or if it’s friendly to then make sure I’m giving it what it needs

Hard to tell from the pic but it might just be a stomatella snail

Likely a harmless stomatella, but you can check here:

Account Suspended

Without ID, I would grab it and put it in the sump until you get a confirmation.

Oooh I’ll research that particular snail and see. Is it harmless? Also can videos be put on here?

Also while I’m here, I know that these are harmless but I don’t have the name for these.

Looks like a star polyp. Watch those. If they take a liking to your tank, you will quickly end up with a star polyp tank.

Or it could be some sort of clove. Which comes with the same warning. Once it gets going, there is no stopping them. If they are on just one rock, isolate that on the sand, away from your rock stacks.
