Coral eating snail?

[reefprobe]

Has anyone ever heard of a snail, a tiny little white body black shelled slippery slimmy bugger that eats coral? And moves quickly too..........

 

[Deanos]

Sure. With thousands of species of snails, there's probably a coral eater that fits your description.

Does it look like this

That could be it? :groupflip

That looks like a stomatella and from what I've read and experienced they're completely reef-safe.

I agree with nano, it is a stomatella and they are good for eating detritus. Maybe the coral was dead and that would explain their presence. They multiple like crazy. HTH

I would go with stomatella they are a good thing!!

I haven't seen it eat any thing lately?
