Snail ID or ID

[brode]

So I was breaking up some old pieces of real live rock that has moved from many tanks with me and found this snail. Can anyone ID this? It does not like the light and its shell is more like a hat not a home.

Skunk cleaner shrimp will eat them. So if you want them, you can't keep cleaner shrimp. Or add some shrimp if you want to eradicate them.

Yeah, they can be eaten by a few reef inhabitants, but I would seriously question someone’s sanity in purposefully removing stomatellas. Of course, I feel the same way about bristle worms too. I never understood why reefers want to remove one of the few things that’s actually beneficial to our tanks.
Sorry, I don’t want to derail the thread. Just want the new reefers to read that stomatellas are good and quite honestly, a necessity in our tanks.

I totally agree they are beneficial to the aquarium. I was disappointed when my cleaner shrimp methodically ate them all.

He is in the refugium so he is away from anything that will bother him.
