snail thingie

[aggiefish]

I came in tonight and noticed something that looked like a slug on the glass of my tank. Its about .75" long and a very light brown color. It looks like a snail but without his shell. By that I mean its mouth and eyes look like a snails but instead of a shell, its got a small hump on its back. It seems to be eating algae on the glass so I don't think its bad, just more curious to see what it is. I'd post a pic, but my digital camera can't get a clear enough pic to make it worth while.

Thanks,

Guy

PS, if I don't have to kill it, I think I'll call him/her Squishy.........

Sounds like a stomatella, they come as hitchhikers on live rock and are harmless algae eaters. Take a look at the hitchhikers page I think it has a pic of them.

Martin, good call. I checked some pics and he is a stomatella. Now is he is a stomatella called Squishy. Thanks for the help.
