Hi. I recently saw this on my live rock and have no clue what it is. Seems to be more active when the lights off and usually stays on the live rock and then disappears. Doesnt bother my 2 clowns but they stay on the opposite side of my 10am tank. Not sure if I need to be concerned or not. Any help is appreciated. Only have had this tank for about 1.5 months.

Looks like maybe a stomatella snail. (is a good one)
 
Your rock looks pretty new. There may not be enough to eat, algae wise.
Yeah fairly new only 1.5 months. I’m going to guess it came as a hitch hiker on the rock. It seems to have grown quite a bit since I first noticed it earlier in the week so that’s why I wanted to hurry and identify it. Looks exactly like what you had said it may be. I’ll just let it do its thing.

Have you had any other hitchhikers on your rock?
