  |  Unidentified inhabant
I have noticed life in my aquarium.
I have a snail about 1 centimeter long, and about 5 other little critters that I would like to identify.
They are very small and clear. They move kind of like a snail, but have no shell. Are these snails? I know it's hard without pics, but if anyone can tell me what they could possibly be I can research further on line.
I guess all of the critters came in as hitch-hikers from my live rock..

Sounds like white flatworms (Amphiscolops sp.). Totally harmless, but look out for the brown flatworm (red planaria) as they can disturb light consumption in some corals.
Check this link and see if it's that: http://melevsreef.com/id/clear_flatworm.html
