What is this?
This morning before work I had a peak at the tank with my phone torch, and I noticed this snail like creature cruising around. I have 3 nassarius snails but noticed a few weeks ago that one has disappeared, surely this isn’t the missing one minus its shell? Then I was thinking maybe it’s a stomatella snail, and if so how did it get into the tank?
Anyway ideas, thoughts? I don’t know how to upload a video so I took a screenshot.   Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

That picture sucks and I can't make out what you are talking about..
But it can certainly be a stomatella snail based on your description. They can easily hitchhike in on rock or corals

Yeah sorry the pic ain’t the best, it’s better viewed on a phone than computer. I had to take a screenshot in the video, maybe this pic is better. Either way I think your right, maybe I should be dipping corals before putting them in my tank..

Stomatella snail, harmless grazer.
