    Anyone out there has encountered limpets in their tank? What are these anyway?

    Not much info on the web for limpets though. Are they harmful? Snail equivalent?

    If anyone wants a few to test it out, I am more than willingly to pass some to you, size about 1~2mm only

    I have a couple of large ones 2.5cm diameter and find they do not harm plants at all… wish I had a few more. Do you know what species yours are? Do they look like this only smaller?

    Strictly for informative suggestion only. I was only trying to figure out if these are harmful to my plants or the eco-system in the tank though.

    Do PM me if you "really" want these limpets in my tank. They are merely 1~2mm only

    My apology, I registered in my head visually that 1~2mm as 1~2cm size.
