Small Gray pests

[thomas_neil]

Can someone help me identify what these are? Have probably a couple hundred that popped up within a week after getting what I thought was clean chato from my lfs. Any possible solutions to get rid of them? They spend all day cleaning the rocks and glass which is nice but the population of them is getting a little bit out of control for my 75 gallon.

Looks like a type of snail. Are they just on the live rock only? If so, I'd let them clean up.

They don’t seem to bother the coral or live stock, just hang out on the live rock and glass. Was just curious if it was a pest or something that would be a problem in the future.

They could be stromata snails, If the look like a slug with a small shell on the back.

Blurry pic but appears to be stomatella.

Think a 6 line wrass will keep the population under control? I don’t have one now because of my blue leg hermits and my cleaner shrimp.

No, they are good herbivores if it is stomatella. Just remove them by hand if you have too many.
