[My wife found this critter and then made me rearrange reef to find him. not sure what he is and the attached pic is very poor (crappy digi cam)

need help to ID. Thanks]

[and another very crappy pic....this guy looks like a slug of some sort and he has a hard smooth "cap" of a shell]

[Looks like a stomatella, and is reef safe. A very good guy to have.

[They come in on LR, and if all goes well they will make more of themselves. They clean the tank of algae, and you want 'em!]

[I stand behind Marc on that ID.]

[I can attest to them making more of themselves. I've got quite a population living in my refugium and tank. They are great algae eaters.]

[I recently found a black one in my tank, and posted a picture of it on RC. Turns out, others had one too!
