BLoCkCliMbeR Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 they are good cleaners, and will readily breed in the tank, especially if you find more than one. my cleaner shrimp ate all mine Link to comment

My Skunks have killed hermits and various snails in my tank. I have to make sure they eat now! Target feeding my shrimps haha Link to comment
mndfreeze Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 That looks more abalone shaped to me?? or maybe even a limpt / key hole limpet? Hard to say with that picture. Link to comment

Hard to say with that picture. just gotta be different hu? if you trace the outline including the tail, its a stomatella. while abalone are not unheard of, its much more common to get stomatella.

iDream Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I don't see a body poking out from under that shell, and I've never seen a stomatella hide under its shell like that. Have you seen it come out of its shell and whatnot? If so then I'd say stomatella I'm gonna guess limpet myself Edit: OOPS, I see it now :derp: stomatella for sure Link to comment
mndfreeze Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I can see how everyone gets stomatella, except there is some severe lack of the massive stomafoooott we are used to. I still cry limpet! Def not abo, or abalone. Silly abo hitchers from aus always make my life hard. Link to comment

I thought the same too, if you look to the bottom left of the shell you can see its mouth and the two antennae/eyes and to the upper right you cane see the back end/foot deal Look hard, it blends in very well Link to comment
castiel Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 You don't see the antennae? Stomatella is my guess too. Looks huge though, but hard to know without context! Link to comment
clowe18 Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 deffenatly a Stomatella thanks guys!! Link to comment
mndfreeze Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Limpets do/can have that big mouth and head also. Depends on the species of limpet and how its grazing, but I concur it is a stomatella at this point! Link to comment
