Hey all,
Came home from work today and found this thing in my tank. Not sure where it came from, but kind of looks like a snail?

Any ideas?

Thanks!

It looks like an see through anatomical model! I've never seen anything like that. It looks like it's still alive and doing ok? Is it moving/eating/doing snail things?

Looking at the bottom where there may be some shell intact it looks like a Nerite? Do you have those in your tank?

I dont have any nerites.

I didnt get to observe it much. It was moving and shaking as some of my turbos do when another is on top of them, but I quickly removed it and put it in a container in my refugium until I'm sure it's ok to be in the tank.

No rocks have fallen recently to cause that kind of damage, though I do have an elegance that I found an empty shell under last week. Not sure how that could be related as the shell was intact, there was no snail left, and they are known for eating them sometimes, but figured its worth mentioning.
