Found Something In My Sump

[nxb161]

Let me know if you've seen this before. It doesn't look that strange, but I'd like to know what it is:

It doesn't quite look like a snail. The shell isn't very high at all. I did touch it to make sure it was hard. It is rounded, but very flat.

Looks like it might be a limpet, does the shell come to a point?

 

[nxb161]

no, its fairly smooth

Check out Chitons.

I looked at them earlier, but it doesn't seem segmented like the chitons. Maybe they aren't as visible at that size.

it is a limpet.

I'll have to read up on them, and if they grow big, maybe bring up to the DT or something best left in the sump?

If you like the look of them they should be fine in your DT, they grow to the size of a quarter or so mostly. Worst case scenerio they end up as dinner.

they are fine in the dt or sump.
