What is this on the glass?

Found it there this morning (not there last night). I left it today, and it’s still there after work. It almost looks like a snail.

Looks like a snail to me!

Baby snail

How can you possibly say snail when it’s blurry and there’s no shell in view?


Honestly- it looks like a flatworm to me

Could be a chiton. Stomatella snail is another possibility.

Can you get a pick of the other side? Does it have a shell?

Because I have them in my tank and am looking at them now and it’s a baby snail

And here’s a shot of it from the other side forming its shell

Baby snail.

Or limpet.

Agree with Rakie. That's a limpet.

Fair enough.

Pic would have been useful to back up your claim in your first post.

Thanks for posting it

Looks just like a limpet to me in the first pic due to the shape and form stuck to the glass. A flatworm also won't have a rim like the pic which is the shell. We are all just trying to help.

I keep mixing up limpets and chitons

I always think a chiton is a limpet and vice versa. I'll get it right one of these days.

They are confusing, lol.

 

[Rakie]

When small they look almost identical to me lol

Thank you guys so much! The snail/limpet left after the night.

I’m glad it wasn’t a parasite or something bad.

Did you see a shell?
