snail id?

[saltyrich]

I've got two small snails that come out only after dark. I don't have a picture, so here goes. They are both fairly small, about the size of 1/2 a dime. They have shells that are somewhat transparent, smooth, and roughly oval in shape. They have two tentacle "feelers" that protrude out in front of them. They move pretty quick to be small. Any ideas?

Stomatella or Limpets perhaps. Dos the shell have any whorls anywhere on it? Can you see the snails foot?

I'll try to get a better visual on it. I'm seeing them every other night now. Seems to be a good hitcher if that's how he got in the tank. He may have gotten in with the ls too.

It could also be some type of shield snail or Bubble snail but they're not quite as common.

I think it would be a nudibrach. Do some research on them they all are simular but different colors. I have one and yes it is a fast little creatures.

It appears to have a shell though. Do some nudibranch's have shells?

I checked the hitchhiker post and yup, it's a stomatella snail. Good call Bang Guy!!
