So I just started my first sw tank. I was given a 35g and it just so happened to fit perfectly in the front of my bar where I originally had a liquor cabinet thing. Today I came across something that made me finally join a forum. I don't know how to Google this so I'm asking you folks. What is this crawling around on my lr? My tank is only 6 days old and still cycling. It's definitely a hitchhiker from my lfs. I bought 40 lbs of lr because they had it on sale for $3/lb. This thing is moving around the rocks like a snail but I've never seen a snail like this.
What is this?

It looks like a limpet. It's a good thing to have a will be a part of the clean up crew.

It's an algae eater. If the tank is new it might not have much to eat. Was the rock already cycled at the store you bought it from?

I'd say it should be okay then. It should be able to get enough to eat for now until your tank starts to mature and then it'll have no problem at all with finding food.

No problem! This is a great forum to come to with questions. I myself have received a ton of information, help and so much more from the people here.
