    If you want, message the member here "pagojoe". That guy is absolutely brilliant on snail/invert ID's. He would know for sure.

    Didn't even think of him, I think there should be a sticky at the top of the ID form, "If it's a snail or invert, ask Pagojoe" lol.

    gotcha

    I think this could confirm the positive ID. What are your thoughts?

    Stomatella varia

    The shell on this one looks just like the last shell listed on the link above.

    Also, how much cheato is to much to be in the sump? Can it cover all the rock or should i cut it back so the LR gets light?

    maybe trim a little bit off of it. When she fills up like that, there is less room for the algae to grow and do it's thang.

    Perfectly fine unless there is some kind of coral that needs light to thrive.
