thanks, but they dont look like these.
to look at them from above they are almost transparent round the edges and dark in the middle. they seem to be gathering more around the shaded areas of the tank,(back glass below the lr line and around the powerheads) thanks again keith |

I also have these nipple like snails in my tank. I'm curious as to what they are as well.
