    This guy must have been in there for a while. I haven't got new rock for maybe a year? Haven't bought new coral in a few months either because I just moved my tank to a new apartment/upgraded to a 90g. Additionally, I carefully inspect and dip almost all the coral that goes into my tank (besides corals that are sensitive to dips like hawkins).

    Could be a baby turbo snail? Or collinista? If not, is it a bad one?
