    I have a small black snail or possibly slug that showed up in my tank a short while ago. It looks like it might be a Stomatella but i'm not positive. He was about about 1/2 cm when I first noticed him, and is now about 1.25 cm long. I am having trouble identifying him, and just want to make sure he is not harmful to the tank. I know it's not the best picture, but any help is appreciated. Thanks!
