Almon June 15, 2007 Share June 15, 2007 I just recently noticed a new creature on the reef. It's colorful, has weird wormlike tubes and holes, is very small ~1 cm, moves at sub-snail speed, and is apparently grazing on red algae. It may have a head and tail because it is traveling in a south-east direction. What is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mogurnda June 15, 2007 Share June 15, 2007 Looks like a small snail covered with vermetids. My little columbellids often end up looking like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rascal June 15, 2007 Share June 15, 2007 Looks like a small snail covered with vermetids. My little columbellids often end up looking like that. That was my thought as well. Only way to be sure is to grab it and take a closer look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now have a hermit with a blue mushroom growing on its back. bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almon June 15, 2007 Author Share June 15, 2007 Snail.......ok.......It decided to move to the glass and now I got a picture of the underside. That looks like a snail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
