Critter ID needed

[rachelcb80]

This is the biggest one in my tank but there are several smaller ones. Mostly come out at night but this one was out this morning. I'm assuming they're some kind of slug (don't see a shell really). Hoping they're harmless.

Last night one was on the shell of a Turbo snail that came as a stowaway in some of my live rock. Didn't seem to be doing the snail any harm, just looked like he was "cleaning" his shell.

Thanks!

Looks like a Stomella snail. A good hitchhiker--eats algae--nocturnal, stays small.
And their shell is tiny.

Yep, my favorite snail. They readily multiply also.
