Picture says it all do I need to do anything?

Nope. Stomatella snail. I've never had a black one in my tank though. In any case, they are great for your tank.

A what were did it come from?

whiteshark · 09/06/2013, 08:43 PM

They are quite common hitchhikers on LR. They are absolutely great algae eaters.

it is pretty big almost an 3/4" long from head to tail so probably half inch big on it main part and my peppermints are only about an inch long. I just cannot believe I never saw this black thing its sticks out like a sore thump in my tank even against my sand.

I wish I had stomatella snails.

I used to have some several years ago, but am in a different tank now. Anyone know where to buy any, or have any to sell or give?
