Good day all, I was cleaning my lights tonight, and when I turned them back on of course, all the coral had closed up. When looking at the tank, under where the brain is sitting I found a very weird thing. At first I thought it was a sponge, but then it moved. I put a flashlight on it, and it scrambled.....well as fast as a snail can scramble.
I watched it for awhile, and then realized I had never seen it before, because it lived under the brain coral. I think it is a stomatella, harmless. But, inquirying minds want to know. It is right now in the refugium. Didn't really feel like it had a shell, or if it did, it was soft.
Got to love the refugium......where all the unknowns and unwanted critters live!!

What do you think it is? Ok? or Glad it is in the refugium?

Thanks, this what I thought it was, but wasn't sure because my other ones have more of an irradescent shell type thing on top. This one is brown, and a lot larger. Thanks all.
Maybe if I can see it tomorrow in the refugium, I will give it a bigger home, and put it back in the tank. "The land of opportunity."
