Abalone or stomatella...?

[Robink]

Hi all, saw my abalone out and decided to video him as he is normally nocturnal. After he went behind the rocks I saw a stomatella in the same area, took pics of him as well. When taking the pics I noticed how similar the stomatella looks to the abalone. Any stomatella experts out there to verify this is a stomatella? He has the same kind of shell as the abalone and looks like the same little feelers or whatever they are around the shell. I've had a couple of these come in on frags and if I see them before I dip I just add them to the tank.
How big do these get? I always thought they stayed on the small side.
Pictures forthcoming...
Just for reference my abalone is probably more than 5 inches, the other one looked to be about an inch or more.

Stomatella is a Stomatella - even if it's been taking steroids.

Abalones have a pretty distinctive shell, with that row of "portholes" that I've never seen on another mollusk.

Nice shots!
