What the heck is this thing?!?!

My buddy sent me this video this morning asking me what this was - and I have NO idea. It's odd looking, looks like it tried to bite the flame angel, and then spit something out. See video!

It actually looks like the flame angel took a nip at whatever it is. It appears to be facing away from the camera, any way to get a picture from the other side?

You're right, looking at it again, the flame angel did nip whatever it is.

No way to get to the other side, it's against a wall with a black backdrop.

Unfortunately no, after I took the video it went away. I just noticed it this morning.

It looks like one of those half shell snails and it is blowing eggs in the water column. They are goods especially if you have wrasses. Constant food supply for them when the babies start to hatch

Agree, it's a stomatella snail. Free and excellent cuc.
