Snail ID.

[clown52]

These guys came on my live rock months ago. I have seen 2 of them each about an inch or so long.
What kind? Good or bad?
Thanks! :notsure:

 

[bang guy]

Cantharus cancellarius
Usually a carrion eater but will attack snails, clams, and other sessile inverts if it gets hungry.

Thanks Bang Guy!

Could these guys have eaten my Flame Scalop?
Would you remove them from the tank?

 

[avbryce1]

clown52 what kind of corals do you have?

 

[clown52]

Not much right now.
Something that I think is Frogspawn and half a brain coral. (I think) My old flame angel ate the other half of the brain.
I am going to get more once I move and get the tanks re-established. I am moving across town in the next couple weeks.
Gotta run for now, my last final is tonight....

They could easily eat a weakened File Clam, probably not a healthy one.
I have them in my tank but if you don't overfeed I suggest you remove them.

In that case I will leave them for now. I don't think there is anything in the tank that can be hurt by them now except for the snails. I haven't seen any empty shells.
