A slug of some variety. It reminds me of a rainbow nudibranch because of the edges of it but it’s not identical to the ones I’ve seen. It’s also much smaller than any I’ve seen so that could account for the difference or mean absolutely nothing lol.
It’s awesome looking tho.

I didn’t think of a cowrie with mantle out. Could definitely be a young cowrie. I have moneys and the don’t have the appendages but a deer cowrie, is probably the answer.
Most likely Monetaria annulus - the Gold Ring Cowry/Ringed Cowry; if you look closely in the pic, you can see the brown/gold ring under the mantle faintly (it's most prominent closer to the top of the pic).
It's reportedly good CUC.
