Snail/starfish ID, Good or Bad :)
Hey all,
Does anyone know what this snail is? Good or bad, please let me know. I found it under a rock when I was moving a frag, it's about 3/4". Thanks Michael

Yes you can. That my friend, is a chiton, an algae eater. They sometimes feed off diatoms if you have any in the tank. They rest in one spot during the day, primarily active at night, then returns to the same exact spot before daybreak to rest.
