    what is this?
    about 3/4 inches length
    black visible eyes
    red antennas
    clam shell looking thing covering part.
    moves faster than any snail or slug ive ever seen. faster than my hermits too.

    safe for my reef?

    in a bucket for now until i know it's safe.

    thanks
    Ray

    Stomatella i believe. Yes it is reef safe. I have a few of these hitchikers in my refugium.
