I'm on phone and can't see clearly but possibly some kind of nudibranch? Maybe get some pics with light.

Kind of looks like a stomatella. Search it and let me know if thats it. If so those are good to have.

Stomatella Varia. Beneficial hitchhiker. Eats algae.

I don't think so, cause it hasn't moved at all. I kept watching it on and off all night. It is still in the same place. I'll try to get another picture. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1348842206.223279.jpg

Idk I can't see it very good it's to small. What is that? I'll google it. Does it feel slimy?

If that is the snail asked about earlier. I do not think it is that cause it hasn't moved. It feels kinda slimy. Looks to have some sort of "mouth or spout" for lack of better description. Both of them do. I don't see eyes or a foot.

It is stomatella Varia. Based on your picts that is the most postive ID I can make. I have had them before.

Ok but neither one of them has moved at all. If it was a snail wouldn't it move?

They wont move until they acclimate. If they acclimate. Also, if you keep pokeing around the rock that will spook them = no movement. Stomatella can feed during the day but they normally are active at night.

Still hasn't moved. I don't think thus is a snail
