Help ID this thing

[ReefMan75-20-15]

Hello all. Please help to ID this thing. Snail type body with sheet looking thing over top. No shell. :?

That, my friend, is a nudibranch It's a gastropod as well, cousin to snails without the shell. I can't ID the species, so keep an eye out and make sure it doesn't munch on stuff you don't want it to.

Thanks Len. So if it does nt eat anything it is ok right? Other opinions welcome also.

Could be a nudi but i think it looks a lot like a limpet. I bet that is what it is.

I think it's another skirted limpet. It's the week of the limpets!

It's probably genus Scutus, and might just be Scutus unguis.

There's an orange one here: http://reefs.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=33594

He looks just like my skirted limpet. Except for one minor nibble on a coral, he's been a model citizen. I've grown rather fond of him.
