Snail problem

[khart0126]

I've got a bunch of snails in my tank, they grew from a live rock I bought, and now I feel as if they are starting to become a nuisance. What are some ways I can remove them from my tank? They are sticking to the glass in the front and back of the tank.

The shape looks like a limpet from here. Hard to tell from the pic. Can't you just pluck them out?

If I even go near them they suck right to the glass. I'll try.

It looks like a Keyhole Limpet (actually not a real Limpet). They are mostly beneficial although they can strip a layer of skin off of leather corals.

Limpets is what i think as well. they are good members of the cuc. Free livestock!

So they are alright to have in the tank?

They won't hurt anything, they eat algae. You can keep em or toss em.
