Found this on the refugium, it looks like some kind of snail trying to eat amphipod and copepods on the wall.

here is a video:

Oh it is a good guy like madman said! It was hard to tell in the pictures, but the video was perfect. They're like a different thickness than the others and they sort of move different. Very active hunters. Did you get that cheato recently?

I only know this because I had some in my sump when I first set up my tank and you were kind enough to educate me! :) Sadly they weren't around for too long! Haven't seen any in quite some time. But loved watching them.

That makes sense then, as I often see them come in on cheato.

Yay! That makes me happy. There's an update coming in about a month with 350 new pictures and more content!
