I've seen it before, I just can't remember where. The answer is out there is we all search for it enough. That exact picture is out there, but I can't recall what it was specifically. I'm thinking along the lines of a nudi.

I showed Pics to my LFS they think it might be a young Chiton also. So maby so Any other Ideas?

 

[cranberry]

Can ya grab it? Look for those 8 plates I was talking about.

 

[loopy101]

it looks pretty interesting! but just to be safe maybe you should grab it while you can and put it into another container of some sorts to find out if its safe or not?

 

[cranberry]

I found it in my notes. It's a chiton. Dang I need to organize these things better.

 

[ophiura]

It is definitely a chiton.

 

[fretfreak13]

Woah it's so wierd looking. xD It's safe, right Cran?

 

[cranberry]

He's safe.

I believe the genus is Cryptoplax.
