Help ID this snail...
At least I think it's a snail. Kinda moves like a snail.
I found it last night, tanks has been up for about 4 months (46 bow): Inhabitants: 1 (what I though was perc but looks more like Ocell) clown, 1 lawnmower blenny, 1 orange mushroom that refuses to attach to anything.

Yes, it's a collonista snail. Harmless little nocturnal grazers.

I'd like to keep them under control this time. I was leaning toward getting a puffer anyway. If I let them build up a bit and add a Valentini, that would handle it yes?

How large it is, colonista snails are tiny, like a pin head. If it is larger than that, it might be a young trochus snail.
