Anyone recognize this? Looks like a chiton maybe?

I bought a bunch of corals today and just finished dipping them and found this guy in the bucket afterwards. Ton of Bristol worms came off too little red ones. All came from a zoa. I have few pics. Two of the bucket with hitch hikers at bottom and a close up as good as I can get with my phone

Yup, chiton, beneficial algae eater.

That’s a hard ID for me. Can we see a close up shot or a shot of the underside?

These guys are amazing at taking care of acrylic too. :/

Little unknown fact about chitons.....

They have the hardest natural substance known to man for teeth(yes even harder then diamonds). They can actually leave bite marks in glass tanks, not to mention what they can do to an acrylic tank.

Great CUC too! They will eat everything on the rocks, back down to white rock. When I had them, you could always tell where they were that night. Just follow the white track to the chiton.
