What is this and should I keep it? It is about the size of the end of my index finger for reference.

Stomatella maybe?

I have some in my tank can't remember the name. I was told they are good and that people pay a couple of bucks for them. They are nocturnal and I only see mine at nignt. Hopefully someone will chime in with some facts.

Stomatella varia they are good for your tank. algae grazers that are mostly nocturnal. Mine reproduce.

yea, I have them too. Mine also reproduce. I hardly ever see one in the daytime but just last night I got up to 26 before I stopped counting. :shock:

Not the most attractive snails but they sure do a great job cleaning at night and then hiding during the day

Ditto. My overflows are quite the breeding grounds for these. I could probably count over 50 babies right now if I took the time.

No kidding. :lol: I think the purple coraline algae really shows it in its best light. I saw it later with the foot all spread out. Damn thats ugly.:shock:
I am happy to hear it is a welcome addition.
