    I'm unpacking some frags I picked up and getting ready to dip them.

    I found this guy on one. He reminds me of a slug. Should I add him to my tank.... or is he bad?

    Let me know if I need more pictures. He's in a bowl right now, lol. Marking as urgent cause it's gotta go in or go out soon :p

    Looks like a stomatella snail. Beneficial algae eater.

    Agreed...looks like Stomatella to me too. Perfectly harmless...we have tons of them in our holding and growout tanks.

    Perfectly safe. I have hundreds in my tank. A bunch of black ones too.
