I rescued this guy from my dad’s tank because he’s a “new hobbyist” and the tank water was literally 90°F he was climbing out of the tank at that point. I put him in my only current reef tank rn. And I think he’s going to be fine but his size gives me worries for future problems such as coral covering, knocking things over, or even eating my macros. Also not sure on exact species. Someone said a possible top crown snail. Ik Ik. I have a bacteria bloom rn leave suggestions for a fix on that too

My turbos definitely annoy my corals from time to time but I can’t imagine corals in the wild have an off limits sign next to them that snails listen to so they’ll be fine. I would keep an eye on your macros though… for the bloom I’d get a UV sterilizer and make sure your phosphates are down.
