Its definitely some type of nudibranch. Looks close to a California Berthella but dont believe it is one
I can also say that unless its a blue velvet or berghia which neither are- Not worth the risk - chuck it

Not too sure its a nudi.....its literally inside a shell lol. The feelers look like a fighting conch.
LOL- this message I posted was for a different page (this is what happens when you have 4 pages open once).
Surprised no one wondered what I was drinking - I dont drink.

Asa for This pic/video . . . . . looks like a Florida Crown Conch, Melongena corona which is not ref safe as with many conchs

This is an old post, but I just wanted to share how neat this is. It appears to me that the wellso actually settled on the snail's shell as a larvae, and has been growing with it for however many years it's been around. It's really neat! Stuff like this doesn't happen often at all.
