i hope so, do they have a shell at all ? this thing has what looks like a small shell maybe 1/4 of its size ...

Yep, the ones I have look identical to your pictures.

[steve24]

ohh, hey lion...
have you seen my two threads in the photo section ???

 

[lion_crazz]

Yes, I actually intended on commenting on your pics!
I love your blue gorgonia, and your yellow ricordia's! Everything in your tank is looking fantastic. Oh, and the firefish shot was sweet!

It is a snail, and a good one. Its called a stomatella (sp).

STomatella. Right! I had the same question here about six months ago.
I have one in my tank (that I can see). Comes out at night.
The thing is, it DOES have a shell. The shell is UNDER the skin across it's back.

Yea I think it is a stomatella
