Is this a baby snail? jen_designs 03-30-2005

I found this creature in my tank tonight. It is really small, clear,
and moves like a snail. It travels across the glass like a snail, and
seems to have a mouth like a snail. I have 12 mexican turbo snails in
my tank. Could this be a baby?

The other side has a small brown spot.

Thanks

Jen

Looks like a juvenile Nassarius Vibex snail. Great detrius eaters,
and keep the sand bed stirred up.

Duh, my bad. It's a little flatworm. Won't hurt a thing.

No, it is a white flatworm.
