Good Sunday morning everyone . Before leaving for work I saw what appeared to be a snail with this flowing long tentacles on the “head” and it was shooting this white stuff (probably sperm) but I am curious as after it didnt look like a snail almost a small mollusk or something. Heres the video I could get and a few photos after it went back.i am sorry theyre not great my glass isnt perfect and I didnt have time to clean.
If it is ID’ed as not a snail what should my course of action be?

I agree that stomatellas are the best cleaners you can get in your tank. Good grazers and get into crevices in the rocks that other snails can’t fit into. And they do multiply well in our tanks luckily so congrats on the new addition
