4 Snails Came outof no where. HELP!!!!!!

Ive had my tank now for about 4 months, but got the live rock 2 months ago. I came home from school yesterday and noticed 3 snails about a nanometer big. Today I found one about a millimeter big. I cant get pictures because they're too small (sorry). Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Depends on what they look like. I would suggest going over to http://www.xtalworld.com/Aquarium/hitchfaq.htm and attempting to ID them. Some snails are good, some snails are bad.

Thanks for the help. I think they may be limpets, but they're too small to tell which kind. what are the most common limpet hitchhikers?

Depends on what region of the world your live rock came from. I'm not very well versed in different types of limpets.

Congrats on the snails man although as Hypnox said "some snails are not good".
