Not sure of the latin but its a stromatella species I found this morning in my tank. Pitch black in colour :D

At first I thought it was a eunice worm having a go at my zoas then I saw its little face :D

First time I have saw a black one, mostly only seen the brown ones stromatella.varia Hopefully this wee guy will reproduce.

Has anyone any unusual stromatella species in their tank? would love some pink ones.

I have a bright pink Chiton.

Really lovely figure of 8 pattern on it's back. I will try to get a pic.

I have loads of these in the tank http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/SwSnails/Stomatella.php don't know where they come from but must be reproducing. They only come out at night but if I move a coral rock or pump in the day there is always one or two on it, they move quite fast for snails.
