    Noticed these tonight in my new 20 gallon. Good or bad? Seem to be just on this one rock. If bad toss the rock?

    Thanks!

    They look like vermetid snails to me...

    I've heard they might be bad if mixed with stony corals...

    Cheers

    They're technically a harmless filter feeder, however in abundance they can be unsightly and their "webs" can irritate coral.
