I just saw this on my sand bed. Looks like a snail of some sort but has no shell. It's about 1/2 inch long.

Stomatella snail. These are common hitchhiking snails which do indeed have shells, though they are flattened and hard to see. They are beneficial and graze on algae.

Stomatella snails. Great find!
OK. Thanks. I was a little taken aback. Never seen it before or heard of it. Must of come in on a frag I picked up. Cool. Tanks only been up 6 months and started with mostly dry rock and a tad bit of live rock from a friend's tank. I'll be on the lookout. Maybe there's more.
