This morning went to check on my pod population, I saw this guy. Had the red light on. He looked like he was pooping in the water about every 5 seconds, just a puff of material coming out of one end. I turned on the light to get a better idea of what was going on and it made a run for the Turbo Snail shell that's just below it out of frame. Then a few seconds later I saw the Turbo Snail moving. Is this guy the snail who just popped into the outhouse (my tank) to relieve itself? Has anyone every heard of such a thing. Wish I had video.

Looks like a sea slug in a way.
