    I don't remember buying these snails. Any idea what these are?

    Limpet. I had a big one in my tank and now I have a dozen or so smaller ones.

    Observe because I believe they're listed as "reef cautious" and could eat some stuff you don't want them eating.

    Interesting. Did you guys actually see them eating the acros? I had lost most the acros in my tank and idk why. I have seen one of those in my tank though. Next time I see him he's gone.

    I have those in my all SPS tank. No problems here. I have never seen them on any acros.
    Are you sure they weren't eating algae on the coral skeleton? Like already dead tissue with nuisance algae growing on it.
