    Looks like a snail but moves very fast, color is blackish brown with blue on its back. No shell. There are hairs on its back also. Found this under a frag on my rocks. I don't know if it's good or bad to have in my tank. I have it quarantined for now. Kind of reminds you of a leach. If it's bad I hope I don't have more.

    Are you sure it doesn't have a plate like shell on it's back? Looks like a stomatella snail to me. If that's what it is, you want it.

    I used to have hundreds of those in my tank, but they have all since disappeared. Not sure what killed them off.

    Looks like the black stomatella snail from melevsreef, perfect picture of it. I will throw it back into my tank. Thank you very much jbrunken & slovan.

    Stomatellas are one of my favorite hitchhikers! Good score! :)

    They'll reproduce also, I had tons until my cleaner shrimp decided to use them as snacks.
