help quick, should i get it out now?!?

[bluelagoon]

ok, saw this guy in my tank before, didn't know what he was, and he disappeared before i could get him out. now he's back and this time he was just goin along the bottom of the tank.
he looks kinda like a snail, w/ no defined shell, he definitely has the 'foot' like a snail, but it's pretty long for his size. he stretches to about 3/4 inch long. anyone know anything about it? should i get him out of there now!?!
i know my pics are awful... my camera won't work very well to take pics of anything in my tank.

well, the little bugger's disappeared again now, and i hafta go to bed, it's almost 1 am here. but i'd still like to find out if he's good or bad for the next time i spot the thing. it's sooo ugly. it can be added to the list of bristle worms i want to take out. i hate those things...

Thats what I think. I have about 50 in my tank every morning when the lights come on then they go hide. Does my tank no harm.

I agree, it's a Stomatella varia snail .... they're harmless algae grazers and a good addition.

 

[bluelagoon]

ok, thanks everybody! he didn't look like he was hurting anything, just eatin stuff off the bottom of the tank.
you guys are great!

 

[bluelagoon]

yep, that's definitely him. looks just like the third guy under the hitchhiker thread.
why couldn't he be a cuter one? he's soooo ugly!
