    Here is a few pics of a snail I just spotted on my Koralia Powerhead. Any ideas what it is?

    I have hundreds of them, some speckled like that, some white and some pink. Great film algae eaters.

    I think that is the elusive power head snail which is often mistaken for a koralia nano. They don't eat much algae but they do increase the tank flow and help eliminate dead spots. These usually run $30 or so in stores so consider yourself luck to have one for free off of your live rock.
