Identification needed.

What is this? I figure it's probably a copepod or an Amphipod, copepod, or isopod.
It doesn't look like the hitchhiker ID pictures on that thread though. It looks more like a very small snail. Is it probable that snails reproduce in an aquarium?
Sorry the pics are only from one angle, it was crawling or sucking on the glass.

It looks to me like a small stomatella snail or cap snail. They can be found in the hitchhiker thread under snails slugs and nudibranchs. They are a good thing to have in your tank!

yeah it's very small maybe a millimeter across. I had to use a magnifying glass with the camera.
