Hi Everyone,

Noticed a heap of these on the glass/sandbed this morning (also saw a bigger one around 1cm in size maybe on the rockwork but he disappeared before getting a pic).
Are these stomatella snails? Sorry I've only got their underbody to work with... There were probably half a dozen or so that I saw, plus the bigger one on the rockwork.

I also noticed some sort of pod I believe (looking at some other threads) (something about 3-4mm long dark in colour.. under a blue light at least, little legs maybe and it ran off on the sandbed somewhere).

Cheers

Looks to be stomatella!
Pod sounds like an amphipod based on your description.
