I have seen a few tiny what looks like snails. Their shell looks like a half coconut. Anybody got any idea? I looked on the Melevsreef but nothing really resembled it. I would take a pic but I would have to remove the dinasour poo before I use it. It's ancient. Thanks in advance.

None on that page were close either. The only snails I have introduced in the tank are astraea. Could it be baby astraea's? They're just flat on the bottom where the "foot" would be and and sort of a rounded cone shell. Light brown with maybe a a darker brown at the tip of the cone. Thanks for the help.

does it have a hard shell? if not it could be a type of stomatella (shelless snail)

It does have a hard shell shaped like half a coconut open on the underside.
