Any suggestions on what this hitchhiker might be? Sorry for the poor quality photo, its the best I was able to get. It only seems to come out at night and seems to be doing a good job cleaning the glass.



Thanks,
Todd

Perhaps a cowrie? What kinds of corals do you have- that is the main concern with unknown snails. If none, enjoy the free cuc!
if you have some, an id kinda matters- some cowries eat corals (from what I’ve read). Cowries are relatively easy to ID because of their unique shell shape

Would the shell happen to look something like this? The cowrie itself inhabits the side with the opening, so you'd see that smooth side
