    Stomatella varia? Those are amazing pictures but it's kind of hard to tell. Also kind of looks like an amphipod...

    I think you are right missionsix, looks like a Stomatella to me also.

    Nothing to worry about ? If I see him again, I will see if I can get a better picture.

    Stomatella. It's cleaning the algae off your snail LOL.
    Came home to the same thing today, but mine are both considerably larger.
