Yet another what is this.

Just saw this in my tank for the first time this morning. I know the pictures isn’t the greatest as you can’t see the top but until it moves best I can do. I am assuming snail but it does not appear to have a shell on it. I have only added 6 snails to my tank and they are all larger than this except for my cerith. Any thoughts?

Some kind of slug. It has nice coloring - but no idea what it is.

Do you have any pics of the top of it? If it has a tiny flat shell, it could be a stomatella snail, in which case it is a beneficial algae and detritus eater.

No pictures of the top. Where it is currently I can’t even get to it to pull it out. It very well might be that as it doesn’t appear to have a shell. I just have never added one of those to the tank not have I added anything to the tank since December. So if it was hiding did a good job as I have never seen it.

Without a top picture, can't tell for sure, but I'd put my money on a stomatella snail that has a little partial shell on the top.
