Need help identifying this. Please.....
I don't know if this is reef safe or not. Never seen anything quite like this before. Saw it for the first time yesterday. Comes out while all lights are on. It looks like a snail with no shell but almost like a small snail sitting on top of a larger one. It's about an inch long and can move rather quickly for a "snail" or something like that. I just don't know what to make of this thing. ???? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks! |

Thanks so much for the replies! Can't be a sponge I don't think because it moves, rather quickly too. It does resemble a stomella but I have never seen one this big. That's what concerned me. Thanks so much guys!
