Hello, everyone.
This is my first attempt at making a post on R2R, so I apologize in advance if this is done incorrectly or in the wrong place!
I am hoping that someone here may be able to help me ID this small type of snail that has appeared in my tank. I had never seen one before, but I first noticed one after recently adding a new coral.
The creatures look like a small snail/clam, with a half-shell that is smooth and white. They are flat on the bottom and are generally oval shaped.
Here is a photo of two that I removed:
I’ve looked at different identification guides, and I’ve yet to see a clear match. From my reading, I think it may be some type of limpet? I am hoping to figure out what these are and whether they are “one of the good guys” so that any of the corals are not at risk!
Thank you for any help you might have!
