Just wondering what this is for sure. Looking at Tampa Bay Saltwater's page it appears to be a Nudibranch, but I thought they looked more like a worm? This is about the size of an eraser on a pencil, flat, almost transluscent, crawling up the front glass.

Not the best pictures. Does it have a shell?

 

[JusMeJim]

No shell. Just a round blob with a couple of tentacles. Very flat.

Maybe just a little better picture.

That’s not a shell on the other side? What does the other side look like?

It's moved very little and it's almost impossible to see the backside (or topside). BUT, today I got the rest of my live rock from Tampa Bay and there were several limpits. I'm now inclined to think that it might be a limpit.

That was my first thought! You are so lucky. I can’t wait to get mine later in January from their sale.

It is absolutely the best!!! Getting close to a year in and I’m still fascinated by it

That’s what got me into saltwater! All the interesting little things that come in on live rock :) back when live rock bought locally had lots of life on it Like 10 years ago got into mantises soon after! And now into them and octopuses the most
