hitchhiker ID please

Some unknown mollusk. It was stuck to my overflow, I moved it into the sump where it crawled over three baffles into my skimmer area.

Looks like a tiger cowrie snail, to me. Google tiger cowrie- and let me kniow what ya think.

It's "fuzzy." I don't think it's a snail. I think it's a clam or oyster of some sort.

Its some kind of boring clam. (as in rock boring) I dont know the name but I have a couple in my system too. Most of us do we just dont see them much they are usually in the rock. I was told they are not bad but could bore into a coral, not likely though.

Ive got a few in my tank. Not sure what you call them but i call them clams. Still have one that i know of, my wrasse took care of the other two. The one I have left has been on the same rock for over a year now. I was told they actually help filter the water, so I left mine. Hasnt hurt anything.

Won't harm a thing, toss it back in! Filter feeder.

I set him on the sand in my DT about a week ago. Woke up the next morning and he was nowhere to be found. He's chillin in the back somewhere, under a rock. Doing his part to keep my water clean.
