So, this guy decided to pop up on front glass in a clump of zoas, at first I thought it was a snail and I just couldn't see his shell... but as he creeper out I saw no shell at all. The part stuck to the glass is about the size of a dime. My tank is over a year old and I have not seen any harm to any of my corals so I'm hoping he's a good guy. Anyone know what this is?

Stomatella snail, the shell is difficult to see since it is so flat. These will feed on film algae and reproduce. Free CUC!
Whoa!! I had no idea they got this big ! I've seen smal tiny ones only so I guess I only thought of them as tiny is all they grow
