almost looks like a type of sundial snail...if so, bad news!!! get rid of them asap. Someone else will chime in on this.

no mini turbo snails, i miss them. i used to have hundreds in my old bio cube, as soon as i flipped lights on they would fall off rock, i found it entertaining.

collonista snails. They are a great part of a clean up crew. Won't hurt a thing.

That's exactly what I have also..... they can get out control though. I found that if their turbos when slightly squeeze them with long tweezers they will crack and squish. If they are "harder than a diamond in an ice storm" and they don't squish....then collonista.

Sundials are flatand dish shaped with rigid shells. You can see the "coils" of the shell and never hang around anything else besides zoas. They will cut a path right down the middle of a colony!

Yep those are good to go. Great addition to a clean up crew cause the reproduce in the aquarium.
