What the heck is this ???

[Sunny]

This was moving around in my sump.  Any ideas ?  Good or bad ?

[Aquatic Specialists]

Does it move on its own?

They look like snails without shells. just a little "shield" on their back.

looks like it has legs does it?

[Sunny]

Yea, he does move on it's own.  Looks like he has something in the front of him, like the Konch snails, that he moves around.  Looks like little legs in a row.  Weird little thing.

[HUNGER]

o wow

[Reefinmike]

if it looks like this, its a stomatella. there is a bit of variation between several species, but they generally look the same. sluglike with half of their backside covered by a half shell. when you try to pick em up, sometimes their tail breaks off.

[Sunny]

Yea, the little things sticking up might be what I thought the legs were.   Some weird stuff in our little piece of the ocean ..

Have you seen an abalone? Same as a stomatella, but MUCH smaller. Pick it up, if its half a snail, thats what it is :p

It's fine where it's at.  As long as it's safe, there is no need for me to pick it up. I did have a RBT.  It shrank up and took off some where.  No smell, so maybe it's still alive.
