What the?????

Hey,

Found this sucker on a rock tonight.....
It's the whitish thing ABOVE the Asterina Star.

Sorta looks like a snail (without the shell).....or a tiny baby Nassarius snail.
It has a sucker "nose" on the front that was scouring the rocks.
It also has two "antenna" on the front (on either side of the sucker "nose").

It is TINY.....note, the size of the Asterina.

HUH? Great descriptions....don't you think?

I'm not quite sure I see what you are talking about, but from your description, i'd go with baby snail

Looks like a nassarius snail. Note the dark speckles on the body. I see mine on the rocks occasionally. Have you seen it submerge under the sand?

Definitely looks like the nassarius snails....but this sucker is TINY.....
I didn't buy him and I've never seen him before.

It's smaller than your pinky fingernail.....about 1/4".

Stomettilla ( yeah I know I spelled it wrong ) snail.
IMO, Its THE best snails you can have.Theres in the way of problem algae they wont eat,they breed like rabbits,and their fast.
