    i have quite a few of those as well in my biocube. they will grow fairly large (around 1-2cm). they look to be some type of snail with a very small shell. when they get big you will mostly only see them at night or with actinic lights on. they like to munch on algae. i like them, they look pretty cool as they get bigger.

    If it has a small shell and looks like a slug, it's probably a stomatella.
