Hitch hiker help ASAP please.

[themadman]

I've got this snail looking thing it's kinda hard to see here. But it's black with white spots on its back but it almost doesn't even look like a shell on the back. Well it is blowing smoke looking stuff into the water as I'm typing? Anyone know what this is? Is it good or bad?

I think it looks like a stomatella maybe. I did some quick googling and that's what it looks like and found another thread where one was doing the same think spitting smoke like that. I freaked out for a minute when I saw that thinking it could poison the tank or something. Lol. Haven't read up on them yet so don't know if good or bad? I just wanted to try to get some info ASAP while I had an eye on the thing so I could pull it out if it was bad. Lol. Thanks for the reply!

Stomatella good hitch hiker, will reproduce in the tank -the smoke was probably sperm...- algae eater

Thank you for the help! Found a pic that looks exactly like it and definitely looks like stomatella.
