What is this little guy?

[mjw88]

My tank is currently under a fallow period, I’ve left my inverts in, a few small blue hermits, a big conch, a bristle star and I had a few snails (forgot the type) I had believed the snails to be dead until yesterday morning I saw this guy crawling around, then again this morning (5am central) but he looks different, almost like he’s growing a new shell. Can snails do that? The snails I purchased I’m sure were much smaller and had different shells.

Stomatella, good herbivore.

Did he hijack in on something? Frag or maybe my chaeto in my refugium?

Most likely, yes. I had one hitch a ride on the bottom of a frag plug last week.

Yes, they are small and can hide on frags or chaeto.
