Possible stometella snail?

[Bleigh]

So I got up a little earlier than normal and was looking at the tank before any lights in the house came on. This guy was front and center. I’ve never seen it before. I’m hoping/guessing it’s a stometella snail, but want verification.

My montis keep having rounds of loosing tissue and I haven’t a clue what’s going on with them - so I’m paranoid.

Does It look like this?

It seems like it has a well developed shell in your picture the ones I’ve seen in my tank look like slugs with a super small developing shell.

I agree with a better picture.

Typically stomatellas look like slugs with a thumbnail for a shell. Their "shell" does not cover their body like a normal snail.

Not stomatella. Are you still able to remove it?

Ugh. No. I have no clue where it went. Any idea what it was? I’m assuming you think it’s bad. I assumed it’s an algae eater due to the green spots around the edge.

Here's the belly side of stomella. Notice the mouth is separate from the body.

We'll need some help from some more knowledgable folks in here on this one.
