Talking bought first corals today!

I purchased my first corals today from the LFS. I think I got a fairly good deal. I purchased a 10lbs piece of rock with some stripped mushrooms, green/blue and orange. There is also some green star polyps. I had a big scare after putting the rock in my QT. I noticed what I thought was a large black slug come around the side of the rock. Turns out what I got was a large Elephant Snail. From what I read they are harmless algae grasers. If anyone has had any bad expiriances with them, please let me know. I have 4 weeks of QT so it should be safe there.

Thx
