Little slug released things in my Seahorse tank.

I have this little slug or snail(It looks like a snail with out a shell)It has a flat kind of shell.
I think it is called an Abalone.
Today it was squirting out tiny yellow things out of it's shell.Was it releasing babies?My fish seemed to eat them up.

maybe eggs? My snails usually leave their eggs on the glass though, so I dunno....

hey, don't worry about it if the fish are eating them.....free food, right?

It is possibly a stomatella snail. You can google for more info, but I am fairly sure they are harmless. I have a few in my tank (nice variety of shells) and have not seen problems with them.

more then likley stomatella. They are great additions to any tank. They do reproduce in our tanks. I have had many babies born in my tanks.
