Hello...I woke up this morning and found this on my glass. I added some corals yesteday so I'm thinking it came from them and I think its a snail however I want to make sure before it hides if I should take it out or not. I don't have any snails as part of my CUC...I only have hermit crabs and 4 strawberry crabs.

Hard to tell from the pic. Does it have almost a flat shell on it, like half a mussel shell it almost looks like? I think they are chitons or something similar, I have hundreds in my tank, only come out at night and do a really good job cleaning. AFAIK they are harmless, but still not sure thats exactly what you have.

Thank you both! I couldn't get a better picture of it...its so small. I looked up collinista snail and it looks lime it. I'm still pretty new so I worry when I get a hitch hiker I haven't seen before. Thank you again for easing my mind!
