Hitchhiker I'd help...slug of some kind...

He is about 1/2" -3/4" long, extremely averse to light, two medium antannae, completely soft with no she'll of any kind. Sorry for the bad pic, he is a rare sight as he only comes out at night and if he is caught in the light I barely have enough time to get a pic with my phone. Any help would be great!

Stometalla snail

Very cool snails and great addition to you CUC

Thanks for the ID! Do i need to provide a shell for him?

 

They will also breed in your tank :)

 

One of my favorite snails

Will they breed asexually, or does he need a her (or vice versa)?

They don't need any shells.

 

 

I'm honestly not sure how they breed. I just know I started with 5 and now I have many more.

Stomatellas do not have shells like other snails. They grow a small half shell over their backs but use speed and their size to run and hide from predators. They breed with other stomatella snails in which all the stomatella will climb to high points on your live rock and they will all release sperm/eggs into the water together. Mine have been doing this about every 6 weeks since I started my tank. I originally only had 2 or 3 stomatella but now I have at least 8 or 9.
