[snapperface]

Found this in my tank. On the back side it has mouth that goes from top to bottom. A long line. Is it good or bad?

It's a type of chiton. I'm 90% sure it is a safe algae eater.

Yes, it's a chiton, Cryptoplax larvaeformis. It is a grazer, and shouldn't be a problem in your tank.

Cheers,

If it is only about a half inch long and only comes out in the dark, then it is an algae eating snail, stomatella, it is highly beneficial and won't harm anything in the reef.
