Wow this looks like a stomatella. Though I variant I have yet to see so far. How is its “tail” like, is it long?? Or if not does it look like its been cut off/broken off? A tell tale sign of a stomatella is its really really long foot that extends beyond its shell.Any help ID'ing this guy would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Don’t think so as I don’t see the curved row of holes that line the shell of abalones.Maybe an abalone?
To tell you the truth, when I initially removed him from the tank there was a piece near him that appeared to be like a foot. Wasn't sure if it was a coincidence or if I inadvertantly broke it off when I removed him. I think you may be on to something - stomatella.Wow this looks like a stomatella.

Agree.It has a stomatella look to it. Let's get more eyes on this..... @KJ , #reefsquad
It possibly could be its detached foot. I regularly find my stomatellas with their foot broken off since they might have gotten spooked by my hermits. They would detach parts of their foot like lizards. What was the word, autotomy i think.To tell you the truth, when I initially removed him from the tank there was a piece near him that appeared to be like a foot.
