Small Pink Snails in sump ID

[landon]

Okay, so the Hitchhiker guide under the "New Members" forum has been REAL helpful for IDing the critters in my tank. HOWEVER, i've noticed recently small bright pink snails in my sump. They are the size of the spirorbis's. I don't have a picture since they'd just look like a small pink spec with my camera. I've tried researching other critter ID pages but can't seem to find them. Any ideas??

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they aren't flat worms. I found one in my DT a while back that I'm sure came from a friends tank when i got some coral from him (turned out he had quite a bit in his tank).

Harmless algae grazers.

hmmm, they don't look like this now but maybe since they are juveniles??? even the slug part of the critter is pink. haven't tried to remove on yet but will this afternoon to see what the shell looks like.

I think you're right. I'll try and get a pic this evening and throw it on here. That's one of the sites I checked out this morning. It's a very resourceful link.[
