Any ideas on what this little guy is? I've been noticing him crawling on my glass the past few days.

Almost looks like a baby snail?

Does it have any sort of shell on it? If so, it might be a Stomatella snail. (good) If not, It could be some type of nudibranch. (usually not good)

It doesn't look like there is a shell on it. It has to "tentacle looking things" sticking out from its head.

Hard to tell. It looks like a nudibranch...

Can you get a better pic?

Nudibranchs are very hard to identify on color alone. I would need some more detail to make a good ID. It looks like a nudi from here, but really hard to tell
