I found this little snail and I wonder if it is reef safe.

Im not sure exactly what they are but they Are Reef Safe, We have about 10 climbing around the Tank at nights. Havent hurt a thing and our tank is packed with corals. So your safe there.

Yup he is reef safe! its and abalone snail, I love those guys I had 2 as hitch hikers but man do they clean the tank good at night. As well every once and a while you will see them release their "man juice" then it becomes free food for your corals :) Abalone, Tropical

That is a Stomatella Snail.. They multiply pretty fast and are algae eaters that you mainly see at night. If you try and grab them their tail will fall off...

Glad ive never tried to grab one, That would freak me out a little bit! They seem to like cleaning off my Frag Plugs.. They do a really good job too!!
