Title: Yet another I.D. Question

I've noticed a couple of these over the last week or so they move around like a snail. I haven't been able to get a good pic of them until I got some good advice from Lee (Tulsa Reefer), THANKS A LOT! Anyway I haven't been able to find pics on the net to I.D. them. So give me your opinions.

Yep, looks like black Stomatella. I have tan ones in my smaller tank, and they breed like bunnies if there aren't any shrimp or crabs to prey on the smaller ones. I think they will still breed even with predators, just won't build up quite a quickly. Check after dark, they really seem to come out on the glass after the lights are out.

And the pics are looking really good! Glad it's working out.
