2 Uknown Critters!
 
Well last night i was lookin in my tank as i do every night to see what is new. Its amazing what u find everynight. Well first thing i noticed are about 6 snails. The snails are Brown and Black. Shell is more flat they seem to enjoy the liverock more then glass but they do go on the glass.

Next i was lookin at my turbo snail and saw this creature on its back. It moves real fast and has a metalic Shine to it when light hits its back. Also notice as i examined it has small tenticles off of it dunno if it stings or not.
it would fan out kind like a manta ray when movin in the cup i had it in. Its snout looks like a snails.

Anyone know what these are?? They are all still in my tanks and by the way they are acting they seem to be harmless so far.

Don't know what the first one is, but the second one looks like a Stomatella snail. They're good to have and should be able to reproduce in your tank.

The first one is probly a cats eye snail. They get to be about 2" but grow slowly and are reef friendly. They do move fast for a snail and mostly stay on the rock and in the dark.

I found one in my tank one day and he was about 2" big and I couldn't belive I never noticed him before. Nice snails

HTH

The second one is Stomatella, a welcome addition.

They breed like freshwater snails..
