New snail population... Any ideas?

I noticed one or two a month ago, but now there's dozens. Any info would be appreciated. They do a good job!

Can you take one out and get a pic?

After a lil research I believe I came up with limpets. How do I get rid of them. I read they can decide to eat coral. I have dozens from a spec to 1/2 in.

I just read a Loach can! Not sure what that is but they are a cheap fish!

They look like stomotella snails bro, which are good guys and basic hitchhikers. They breed like crazy.

Not Limpets. It looks more like a Stomatella Snail. They are great for the tank and actually reproduce quiet nicely. They do a great job imo. I have a good population in my tank as well. I think you will be alright Matt.

Awesome to hear. They do a great job. My parameters have been awesome since I added the reactor and Skimmer. I wondering whats gonna happen when I add my fuge and there's no algae left. They don't touch coraline. It's starting to grow in finally.

I've seen them puffing white stuff. There's one doing it just about every night when the moonlights kick on. The small one hide during the day.
