small snail looking thing

[extremepb319]

I decided to look around my tank tonight after lights out because i havent done so in a while, when i noticed this snail. I dont have a camera so im going to describe it best i can.

If looking at it from underneath when it is on the glass it looks like the bottom of a turbo snail. Its about the size of a dime, and white in color( i can see a dark spot in the middle of the bottom but its inside so stomach maybe?). it has a little sucker and 2 wiskers that are antenna like like squirmy. I could not get a good view of the top but it looks almost like the bottom but not as slimy and kind of ridged and tan in color. I know this probably wont help identify it too well without a picture. But i thought maybe someone has had a similar experience and knows what im talking about.

that was a long one sry but i tried to describe it best i can.
thanks

Yea! that looks almost exactly like it. I just wanted to make sure it wasnt bad even though it seemed to be eating stuff off my glass. I guess they arent bad so thanks a lot.

They multiply like crazy so pretty soon you'll have tons of them. Some people don't like them because of this, but I see it as free snails that I don't have to buy.

Sorry for the multiple posts. The computer locked up and I didn't think they went in.
