[Red44]

Hi right now I only have live rock in my tank and everytime I turn off the lights the next morining the sand is always bunched in corners and on the live rock would any one know what hitch hiker this is?

It could be a small hitchhiking olive snail ( sand sifting snail ) they are known to live for no more then a year.
