I found this creature crawling around in my chaeto tonight,
(sorry for the blurry pics)(its about 1/2" long)
Can anyone identify it?

Kinda blurry, but maybe a stomatella snail? Pagajoe would know.

Great! Snails are always a good thing.

Thanks for your replies.

His shape and long antennae look right for a Stomatella. If it's not, the other possibilities are also algae eaters, so it should be a good guy.

Cheers,
