ID of these 2 creatures...

[inline6]

Need ID of what these 2 things are next to my clam.
They do not move, at least they haven't for 2 days already.
I think they are some kinda of snail, but they haven't moved.
My 3 clams show no sign of distress or disease.

Any ideas anybody?? :knockedou

Ummmmmm 6 I think they look like snails but can't tell LOL The pic is awesome but it's just that those things are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo small LOL Try pulling them off and checking them like that.

I have vermetid snails in my tank, they look quite different, unless these are how they look as young ones.

 

[DRZL]

hmmm...can you get any closer w/ your camera?
im stumped if its not a small vermetid

Inline6,

Try a search on pyramid snails. If you have them you will need to attend to them right away or they will affect your clam's health.

those dont look like pyramid snails. Inline6 get a better pic (to me those just look like coralline spots).

Noodleman,

You are probably right. I can't personally tell from the picture and I thought he might want to know about them.

Sharn,

Too difficult to identify base on the pictures. I don't think they are pyramid snails, but try looking when the lights are out.

Yeah, they don't look like pyramid snails, they're definitely snails.
Strange that they don't move, I see a 3rd one now.

They are tiny, about 1-2mm.
So far they don't seem to be harming my clams.
I'm going to try plucking one off now.....
