Noticed a few of these around the tank at night. Tank was started with dry rock so I’m assuming it hitch hiked in on a coral (all corals dipped in Coral RX) and multiplied.

Looks like a snail without a shell. Has tentacles and red stripes/markings on its back. Friend or Foe?

Stomatella for sure! They are a lot more active at night ime

Some fish will pick at them if they get hungry enough just FYI
