Hey everyone,

Having a bit of an sudden infestation of these guys, I noticed on the base of one of my torches :eek:

I assume its some sort of flatworm, but its suprisingly not flat? Seems pointy almost which leads me to believe (or hope) could just be a snail species. Any help on the ID is much appreciated!

It’s a limpet and reef safe snail. They are common with live rock, and are typically colored in a mottled brown, black and tan pattern, and do not have a mantle that covers their shell and are herbivores and are beneficial to the reef tank
