Hey everyone so i just noticed this guy crawl from the top of my rock work all the way to the bottom pretty fast. In thank I only have 4 corals and 2 clown fish and 3 bubble bee snails in a 13 gallon. Started the tank in January and put coral in march 1st and fish march 29th. This is the first time iv ever seen anything but the livestock i mentioned. Here are the photos... what are y’all’s thoughts? Stomatella? Something else. If i can get a better photo in the next days or even a video if i can!

Stomellia snail can suck up in a corner and grip tight.
Does it move faster than any other snail youve seen? I call them speed racer snails. Lol
They have a half shell and mostly slug.looking. hths
Google img will have pictures.
D
Yes moves fast and it doesn’t seem to like the light when it comes on it finds shadows but when they are off it roams around the rocks. I have a bad algae problem too at the moment :(
