small and not sure

[Stitt]

Hello everyone...i have these small little snails in my tank..maybe even slugs. Im not to sure on were they came from. I have only bought one snail for my tank. Do they have eggs? or what do they do? I am also new to saltwater and would like to say HELLO to everyone.

Hello Stitt! Do you have the opportunity to take a picture?

I wonder if what you describe is stomatella, or perhaps flatworms.

Sorry...i do not have a digital camera right now...im planning on getting one soon.

From the hitchhicker FAQ

I saw a snail out for a midnight cruise on my live rock that had a very flat, brown shell, two antennae, and what looked liked worms wriggling around after the shell into the water. The shell was 3/4" long, 1/8" wide and looked so thin as to almost not exist. What is this little guy?


This is most likely a Stomatella varia. It is a small reef-safe herbivore. A nice grazer that will reproduce readily and will consume diatoms with gusto.
