Feb 18, 2008 #1 R ReefyCane SuperNewbie Hi All, Is it possible to have a shell-less snail in your tank? I think I have a snail without a shell. Also, I have a small whitish shrimp in my tank...less than half an inch long. What kind of shrimp is it?? Thanks, RC

Feb 18, 2008 #2 yote In Memoriam There are several kinds of slugs that can show up.As well as snails that look like they dont have a shell. The shrimp could be a mysis shrimp.They can hitch hike in to.

Feb 18, 2008 #5 reeffreak Reef pro Nudibranches or sea slugs are basically snails without a shell.Stomatella snails are snails with a small oval shell.I'm not even sure what the whitish shrimps unless its a large amphipod. It will be a guessing game without a pic.

Feb 19, 2008 #6 R ReefyCane SuperNewbie So the snail I was talking about has started to grow a shell...so I am assuming it is a snail?! Also,the shrimp like thing is just a large amphipod. I have smaller ones running around my tank that look just like him! Thanks for the suggestions guys! ~RC
