What type of Snail is this?

[cincyjim]

I found this crawling around on my rock. I searched but cannot determine what kind it is or if it is good or bad. I haven't put anything in my tank in a long time so I don't know how it got in there. I was leaning towards a Stomatella Snail but I didn't see any pictures with those markings. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jim

That picture is kind of weird IMO but it could very well be a stomatella.. and they are good/beneficial

I need a better pic. I'm a snail lover.

It's hard to tell from that pic, but I know Stomatella have a huge variety of markings and colors on the shells.

He's moved on and I can't find him anywhere. It was around my Zoas but was moving in between them and not on them (eating wise). The mouth is like a vacuum hose and the body color was white with orange. Pretty cool looking but no idea. I'm hoping for a Stomatella! I took several pics but that is about the best one. Attached is one more but it isn't very good and most likely won't help much.

Found him coming from behind the Zoas. Maybe these two pics will help. I didi find a picture of a Rabbit Snail but the shells are totally different but he is very similar to those face wise.

Thanks,
Jim

I was completely unable to tell from the first pic, so I kept my mouth shut. These are much better pics, thanks. But I'm still unsure. I'd guess stomatella based on the shell shape. But the body looks different than what I'm familiar with. Hopefully others will be more informed.

I'm thinking Stomatella as well. I watched it for awhile last night and it is only grazing on the rocks. The mouth really threw me off as I have never seen one like that. Thanks for everyone's input.

That definitely looks like a Stomatella - the fingernail shaped shell and long trailing foot that can break off to distract a predator are telltale Stomatella. Nice score.

That's a stomatella
