Is it a stomatella? Whatever it is, it's probably reproducing.

Lionfish Lair · Feb 28, 2017

Oh, you posted a second pic. It doesn't really look like a stomie in that picture, but it's a snail. He's just spreading the love.

Idk never seen it before .it doesn't have a shell

Lionfish Lair · Feb 28, 2017

Are you sure it doesn't have a hidden shell? Can you touch it?

JEREMY82 · Feb 28, 2017

it looks like sponge, as far as touching stuff in tank... I don't play with stuff I don't know.

Lionfish Lair · Feb 28, 2017

It doesn't have to be with your hand.

Lionfish Lair · Feb 28, 2017

Was it there yesterday?

JEREMY82 · Feb 28, 2017

It's moving it's disappeared kind of looks like snail but without a shell ,well hopefully just some snail I'm not aware of.

It could be a stomatella. That's how people usually describe them and I see a swirl in the shell in the picture. It also had a little cowrie look to it, but the swirl doesn't match that. It's why I wanted you to touch it, to see it if retracted its mantle or not to show the shell underneath. Either way, I wouldn't worry about it.
