I have a couple elsewhere that I’ve been trying to either crush or glue but these have popped up in a couple of spots. Don’t look like the other ones. The e blackish spots on the right rock.

What’s the best source for bumble bees? Yeah, you’re right ... they are vermatid but I don’t see the little tip and the extension. Oh well. Just when you think you’re doing a good job with a tank.

Glueing each one really isn’t an option because of the way the tank is situated. It’s in-wall so can’t really see the front of the rocks very well.

Maybe I'm just missing it but I don't see anything that looks like vermetids in the picture

Same picture. Just zoomed. I see a definite spiral to that black thing but not the antenna looking tip I normally associate with vermatid. I have them elsewhere so just thought this was perhaps some stage of them.

yep
That's what I was talking about.

I got my snails at my LFS btw. The snails are harmless so I wouldn't stress about them.

Those black spots could possibly be Lobophora or a variety of Formaniferan. Preferably the Formaniferans.
