Slug ID

[cakemanPA]

So I was cleaning my skimmer this evening and see the 1"-1.5" black snail (small white spots also). After doing so research I think that it might be a small Elephant Slug. Anyone have these? No idea where it came from.

Sorry for the crappy image quality

Stomatella snail. :thumbsup:

If it has a tiny shell, yes, it's a stomatella. Harmless algae eater. You probably have a few more of them, they breed, but they don't go out of control.

I have had stomatella snails before. Just never a large black one like this. very long antennae.

Kind of looks like a Black Elephant Limpet (Scutus antipodes).

That pic could trick anybody, and it does look like a Scutus....but I agree that it's a black Stomatella. Those long, cockroach-looking antennae are fairly distinctive.

Cheers,

Thanks for all the replies. I will have to see if I can get a better picture. Very cool snail though.
