Called Stomatella varia, very proliphic snail. they will multiply to dozens within 2 months. Good algae grazers, and a welcome addition to any reef tank. | |

I started off with one (that I know of) on some rubble that I used to seed my tank... I now (3 months later), have about 9 or 10 on my glass alone at any time. I can only imagine how many are grazing away on my reef. Still good little guys to have around (free CUC) | |
