I’ve looked through the other snail ID threads and didn’t see anything so I’ll just ask what these are.

40 gallon tank about 3 months olds. I’ve bought Astrea, trochus and nassarius snails but have noticed more than a few stomatella snails that hitched in with the ONE pound of live rock that I bought from the lfs to add some diversity.

Just wondering what these might be? I’ve got around a hundred on my glass. They’re about 1/8” long and appear to have a shell.

I’m leaning towards stomatella but wondering what the experts have to say.
Thanks

And apparently I’ve got what looks like some baby Trochus snails also.

Just did a quick count and noticed a dozen or so of these on my rocks. Shells are about 1/8”.

I guess the snails like the tank, Hopefully the corals follow suit.
