Guys, could you identify this? Thanks

That is a Vermetid Snail, without a closer picture I can't give you genus or species though. They are harmless filter feeders.

Don't have a macro lens, though. Can't get closer.

I agree with DAve, wise ol' soul that he is.

Here's a good thread on hitchhikers with a lot of pictures.

Forgive the ignorance... What's an hitchhiker?

 

[Anonymous]

Any critter or other stuff that hitches a ride into your tank on live rock.

Sorry 219!!!!!!

No worries .
After seeing your reply I found a small crab that hitchhiked along. The rock is sitting in my tank for 3 months now. He decided he could come out yesterday.
When he becomes less shy I'll post a pic in the respective forum.

Thanks!

What?!?!?!? Are you telling me that I am the only one here that has his own ICBM in the backyard..

I had a brittle star in my mantis tank for months without knowing it...

It's not a snail, it's a worm. Spionid I believe.

Sorry but it is of the Class Gastropa (snail) :wink:
Family: Vermetidae
Genus: is either Petalonchonchus or Serpulorbis.
Need a much better picture to narrow it down.

Ive got tons of them. When I feed, they all let out their "fishing lines" to feed. 8O
