Sea Slugs???

[hank]

So there are these Slugs in my tank. I just got my tank about 2 weeks ago. Its a 35g with not to much in it. I have some plate coral and some macro algae but once I brought in my macro algae in I noticed this slug thingy. I dont know what it is and I dont have my book here to look it up. It kinda freaks me out. Is there anyone who knows what there are or why there in my tank? thanks for reading!

Stomatella snails?

Do they look like slugs with little oval shells on top of them? If they do, then most likely they are Stomatella snails.

Yea, they are great. Strictly algae eaters and get no longer than about an inch. They will even reproduce in your tank.
