As for the other guy... any pictures with more detail?

I have CC but I have no idea where it came from. As for the snail I have not seen it since I took those pics. The way my tank is cornered I couldn't get that great of a shot.

I found one of these guys in my tank a couple of days ago I even took it out of the tank just to make sure it was a stomatella and it was. Pretty big one too. It was different then the one I first posted.

Rick and dgorner great ID'ing.

I agree 100 % Anemone, tulip snail and a Nassarius snail with a feather duster growing on its shell.
