This is a Elephant snail <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWcw6CExmTk" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWcw6CExmTk</a>

After looking closer, I think what you may have is a Strombus snail: Check here http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-07/rs/index.php

I believe both are algae eaters, not snail eaters.

I didnt mean elephant snail literally hehe i meant like...the elephant man mutant snail, lol. He does have a trunk and looks like the last pic in that article. Noticed some coraline alge growing in the fuge tank close to the light. Its covered on the other side by HA, as is almost everything in that tank. I didnt expect that at all, haha. Didnt think the bulb i had was quite the right spectrum to do much more than keep everything green and brown growing lol.

New system stable!! Still need better lighting though!! 40G fuge, single 55, 40G sump, 600 gph upflow with extra filters in every tank for added flow...for now..LOL.
