Curious ID (without pic) :(

last night as I walked past the tank I noticed what appeared to be a 1/2" shell-less snail cleaning the glass. Not that I mind it cleaning the glass, but I never saw it before.

I couldn't grab a pic in time, but any ideas as to what it could have been. I'd like to try to figure it out...

Gets my vote as the most likely possibility. Could also be some type of nudibranch.

If it's a stomatella it's a helpful part of the clean up crew. If it's a nudibranch you may not be so lucky. Some nudibranchs have specialized food demands, often specific corals.
