How to get rid of this snail
Anyone know what this is and how I can get rid of them? They are 1/2 to 1 centimeter in size. Is there medication to kill them or a fish that will eat them?

Agree, limpet. Manual removal is your best bet, they're harmless though.

I agree with limpet. I do not like removing harmless critters. The more diversity the better.

Will also agree with limpet. I have a few. What always intrigued me is how they got in my tank
 They sort of come and go and a good indicator of how I feed, or over feed, my tank. But no harm and actually good for film on glass.
