ok ok i know this must be a dumb quastion,after lights out for the fishies i saw a snail very small about a cm in leng without a shell,is this just a baby snail ? did my turbos getting mini turbos ? i also saw another smal snail smaller than this one with a shell that he prolly found out of the crushed coral wich has alot of very very small shells...

Looks alot like a shield limpit, they look as if they dont have a shell but when you get up close they have half on thier back, there is also another type of creature very similar but I cant remember its name.
Not to worry they are the good guys and will help with the clean up :)
My daughter had a heat attack one night as she went past the tank at about 4am with lights out and saw a 2" slug on the glass.. I crept down the following night and it turned out to be one of these guys. White with brown spots, half a shell and tendrils around the shell too, so was quite a sight. My tank has been up for about 5 months now and I had never seen it before :)
 
Agreed, prolly limpet or stomatella, althought the coloration is much more limpet-like
