At 2:15am I saw this thing and thought it was a snail out of his shell (could happen), then this morning while reading posts I saw one on flat worms that eat corals -crap! I ran to the tank to see if I can find that thing again (Yea, right 155 gals.) Bingo! found him inside a snail shell sleeping it off from last night, I took him out and put him in sump jail does he look dangerous to anybody?

looks like a stomatella snail....harmless algea eaters..and a bonus is they will breed in home aq's.

Looks like a stomatella (snail-like thing with a flat partial-shell on top)
