So I just picked up a new rock today with some palys on it... and found this guy stuck to the bottom of it.

looks like an abalone.

Maybe an abalone, not an expert though. If it is, it's good.

 

[JustinW]

Thanks guys. Under some further research I do believe it is in fact some sort of abalone

 

[recess62]

Abalone. I have one and it is the coolest creature in the tank

 

[JustinW]

This has a shell :)

This does have a shell

It definitely is an abalone, genus Haliotis. I can see the holes in the shell with tentacle like appendages going through on the first photo.
