    Last week I put a couple big turbo snails in my sump.  Tonight on the side of my glass with the light off I have these slugs crawling up the sides and they dont have a shell that I can see.  Are these baby snails?

    I do believe those are baby turbos. Are they greenish and have a shell that looks like a fingernail?

    Sounds like stomatella snails. We have lots of them - common hitchhiker
