What type of invert is this?

Spotted this in our frag tank...

Looks like some sort of pod, but it's pretty big.

Thanks!

Harmless stomatella snail.

Great thanks

Haven't seen one before, kind of freaked me out.

Thought it looked like a snail, but kind of pod like as well.

I'll put the flamethrower I was going to use fire to kill it with down now

It my sound weird but I have one giant stomatella snail that was the first inhabitant of my tank and I've grown attached to him. Wish I had a lot more

This one should do well

Nothing in the frag tank to eat him. If he makes it out to the display on a coral he might not fair well with our Crosshatches.

Fixed that for you. :beer:

Mmmmmm

I can't tell if our snail population has declined since adding the Crosshatches... I see a flipped shell from time to time, but we were sorely lacking in the CUC department over the last few months.

Dumped a ton of snails in our frag tank to QT for 3 months to rebuild the population.

I'll try to leave this little guy in the coral tank.
