    New inhabitant..... Looks like a small Turbo to me, or possibly a baby astrea. I've counted about 10 so far.
    Pago Joe.....your thoughts ?....;D

    You got it. Good call. Harmless algae eaters that resemble small turbos. Thank you. That's very good news, I have something else to look at in my tank, and it's not going to kill everything I've worked for. LOL ;D

    hard to say, but if they have shells like turbos, with no flat face, I would also say collonista, my refugium is packed with them

    Yup, you got it. I've about made the whole 3reef crowd into snail taxonomists lol.

    Cheers,
