Pls ID this ... THING

[Hookup]

Ok, so i'm turing in for the night.  I check my tank one last time, you know, kiss the fish goodnight and all that jazz... anyhow.. this thing, pictured below, is crawling on my pump...  Which i shut-off for the photo so the gramma parked in it... lol.

Anyhow, my "guess" here is that a snail got yanked from his shell and didn't die... Looks kinda like a shell is forming again...

Thoughts, ideas, experiences, amusing anecdotes?

Not sure what it is but I'll tell you this, 20-30 mins after you turn the lights out take a flash light and look at your tank...

It's a Stomatella.  Probably Stomatella Varia.

Perfectly harmless.  Actually good.  My tank has loads of them in there.

One more thing.  When you see one next, touch it...just a little poke.  You'll be surprised how fast they can move!

i was just about to say the same thing.i have them in my tanks too

[Hookup]

Cool, thanks.. freaky looking slug thing...

If you pick them up they will also drop their "tail"
The back end will sit there and wiggle while the front gets away.

I used to feed the tails to my triggers

Pat, that is very morbid... lol.   Now who has a hungry trigger?

[redbelly]

Oh thats right, you asked for a amusing anecdote not a morbid one...
Well either way the triggers like them
