ID Please
I am not sure where to get the ID for this so I started here. I saw this thing the other day on the left side of me tank and now see it over on my right side of the tank. I originally thought it was algae but now that I look at it closer and it moved it looks to be something.
Any idea? |

If you touch it is it hard. There are many different shapes and sizes of limpets. If not a limpet I'm still gonna say its in the snail family

No problem but just because its a snail doesn't mean its not bad there are some bad snails. Let me know if you find out the species

I think it is an operculum from a trochus snail.

It's not alive. lol It is the trap door of a snail. one of your snails must have died or it came in on a peice of live rock.
