Can you give us some description with it?

Does it move? Does it have antennae? Does it look likea coral polyp? Where is the rock from?

Really hard to tell from the picture alone.

Ah. This is a Stomatella varia, if I'm not mistaken. It moves, right? Looks like a snail with a flat shell like an abalone?

 

[Gtot]

thats it..wow thanks!

I've got a couple of these that came hitchhiking along with some frags and such that I got, they seem to be pretty harmless, mostly come out at night. they're kinda like flat snails.. fun to watch

for some odd reason..i was reading that topic but never associated the snail i have with that...hmmm...i got my nessarius snails today..and they are awesome...i had a dead crap there on the sand and next minute he was getting swarmed by the snails..its cool watching them come out of the sandbed..looking like mean monsters!

Yep. I put like 30 of them in my nanocube and I love to watch them pop out of the sand like army commandos. And if you look close during the day, you can see a wee little forest of siphon tubes sticking up.
