Default Are these reef safe?

My camera is not very good, and I don't know how to turn off the flash. .

Well, here goes a description.

K. I have about 8 of these slug like things in my tank. They have a mix of white/tan/brown stripes running down their bodies. They also look to have an external type shell that seems to small for their body to fit into.

I also seem to have one of those crabs BL had in her fuge/sump thing.

On a good note, I seem to have a hawaiian feather duster that came in on my new rock, as well as a pretty black/blue feather duster. I also have what look to be 3 button polyps with green centers.

Just wanted to make sure these snail things are reef safe, and won't eat the coralline or any coral.

If they look like this snail 1 ans this snail 2 they are called stomella snails and they are reef safe... They will clean your glass pretty good.


If you have nothing in your tank to eat them they will multiply very fast. i started with 2 and in a matter of weeks i had over 50 in my tank. Until i bought a cleaner shrimp that made a snack out of them.

oh they are aren't they. Well, I know I have had them for at least 2 weeks. They number around 10, or I estimate around 10. There may be more, and there may be less. Way to many nooks and crannies in my rocks to get a certain number.
