I don't know if this is a snail or baby mushroom?? It was free floating when I seen it. I took it out of the tank for over an hour and It didn't move. (But in the tank it went to a moon shape so I know it's alive lol) Is it good or bad lol tried to get best pic I could. The one in the cup zoomed in good. The pics in my hand is of it's back and underneath.

Collonistas are about the size of sand grains and, more importantly, are snails. This is a mushroom, it has a clear oral disc, tentacles and mouth. It must have disconnected from the base of a mother colony.

On a phone screen, not seeing mouth or disk.
Collanista not sand grain size but size of pea. I see stated did not move. Generally active during evening. Will have to look on a larger screen.

They can hitchhike on live rock sometimes, which may explain why it's slightly clear. Place it in a small deli cup w/ small holes and a piece of rubble for a few weeks, and it should attach.
