NOT A BLACK STOMATELLA.

It’s solid black and was chilling on the shell of my coco worm. this thing itself has a hard shell that runs from the top top to bottom. was really hard to get off my coco worm.

A good description would help narrow it down. The shell you're referring to is it completely encased in it? Or is it just on the top with a snail on bottom? Was it suctioned onto your coco worm, or held on by threads, or calcified to the worm?

Maybe it's this one.

Best regards, Elisabeth
thank you for the reply. this thing must be the shell of that stomatella, sorry for the confusion. not sure what else it could be, definitely not a living stomatella.

not sure if this is a snail, if it is it's a dead one.

this is it's underside. its hard to get a picture of it since it's so dang small, but it wouldn't latch onto anything else after I got it off my coco worm, and it was suctioned onto that. it had a relatively hard top, just not squishy. not sure what else to say about this thing, but it's definitely not a stomatella which I have like hundreds of those.
