Slug ID

[lanilx]

I found this climbing on my rocks moves extremely fast appears as if it doesn't have a shell but it does seem to have a hard covering with a white stripe down the middle of it. I have also noticed a lot of my zoo's disappearing.

Do you have a better picture of it?

Fast snails with almost invisible shells are usually Stomatellas, but it's impossible to tell from your pic. Try photographing it in a dish of water, and back off until you can get your camera to focus. A small in-focus pic is better than a larger blurry one. You should then be able to crop out a lot of the background leaving a decently large pic of the snail. Try that, I think I can give you a positive ID if you do.

Yea it is. I looked it up on google and that it is it. Do they eat zoo's?
btw thanks for the ID

No, they are algae eaters, and should be no problem in your tank.
