First Hitchhiker, I must be official!

[DapperCuttlefish]

Well, I’m a real aquarist now! I’ve spotted my first hitchhiker on a few small pieces I just got. My tank finished its initial cycle and I bought a few cuc and small live rock pieces for mantis to play with when she arrives (cuc is also special welcome home treat for the mantis). Anyway, went to put a piece in and the rock moved! And this guy has moved in! Thank you for the common hitchhiker guide so now I know what kind of snail it is!

Looks like a flat worm to my eyes

Never seen flatworms with antenna might be a stomatella snail which would be a good part of your CUC

Def stomatella. Good guy and herbivore.

After comparing him to the commonly found pictures thread, I think it’s a stomatella snail.

I think it’s a stomatella too.

Definitely a bad guy. Pretty sure it's a hobbit worm in larval stage. You should probably send it to me just to be safe.

I know there are no dumb questions, but I also know there are some “per my previous email” answers! Lol

Seeing the “big guy” makes me nervous about what I can’t see ... yet
