Hi guys, I was looking at my tank after the lights went out with my flashlight, and I noticed this tiny guy on my rocks. I tried searching for more, but I couldn't find any. It's the first one I've ever seen. My tank has a nassarius snail, cerith snails, a lightning dove and margarita snail, in terms of snails. I did squash him just in case it was a pest, I felt bad but I didn't want it to be a pest snail and leave it in. Thank you in advance!

I was thinking it looks like a Whelk or a Dove Snail so I'd say possibly a baby Dove.

Do they retain sperm or reproduce asexually? I've only had one in the tank since I had it, and it's been like six months.
