wth am I and am I reef safe?

[buddy08]

saw this little booger crawling around on a particular rock over the past few days and finally was able to grab him. he looks like a snail, but hes black, and flat. he DOES have a shell on his back that is dark gray but is really hard to see in the photos. i have a few other critters in my tank like this one but theyre all brownish/tan with a light colored shell. i believe theyre Stomatella snails.. could this black one be just a Stomatella with a bad ass paint job and a pimped out shell?

Absolutely. I had them in a bunch of different colors. Definitely a stomatella.

hes a good guy right? cause i put him back in to his rock and let him be. if i had to guess based on how many ive seen, i probably have 10 or more of them. including a big fat one in my sump roughly the size of my thumb.

 

[ErinCahir]

Good guy for sure!

i feel bad now, i had to pry him off by his shell lol. they have been keeping my sump clean thats for sure, i can see kiss marks on the glass from them cleaning it, similar to the marks my turbos make in the DT above. good to know.

Snail trails are the best! :D
