Snail critter. Anyone know what this is?

[WhoKnew]

I have a snail that appears frequently. Doesn't seem to bother anyone. I am respectful of it. Can it harm me or any of my corals

OOPS!! I answered in your other thread. That is a scutus or keyhole limpet.

Is that good or bad. Not sure. I respect him and him me. He is pretty and body floats across my glass. Is he harmful, or should I just enjoy him. Will how reproduce. I'm sorry for so many questions. He was a hitchhiker.

I had one that kept knocking over corals. Here is a thread that has some info on them: https://www.reef2reef.com/forums/ge...hitchhiker-unknown-critter-check-here-id.html

Thank you for the information. I'm glad to know he won't hurt my tank or ME. I have been stung by my corals and all I can say is MOTHER.

How big is this guy he looks large

He is about 1.5". I've noticed he is starting to go on my rock. Will he eat my Zoa's. I have noticed they are not doing well?

Yes, they will eat zoas or other soft corals.
