Hello, dear reefers,
Just want to check if any of you seen this kind of snails. Want to check if they are reef safe or not.

Those are limpets. They are generally reef safe, although I have heard some say that some species can harm SPS corals. I have some in my tank and have not seen any problems with them.

I can't see the pictures but assuming everyone is correct, they are reef safe. I have a ton in my tank and have never seen them near any of my corals.
