I was looking the sea cucumber up online and it very well may be one. My tank is 4 years old and I haven't added anything like that to my tank. It must have gotten in there somehow.
 
How big is it? Can you pull it for a better pic?
 
It's about an inch or so long. It's really attached firmly. I'm afraid of killing it if I try much harder to pull it off..
 
I've never added a cowrie snail but you may be right.. it is squeezable like a snail would feel.. if it is indeed that, will it eventually show it's shell ? It's been over an hour now and it still looks the same. It's also moving around in its current state..
 
Wow, as soon as I went back to part the mantle it now has a complete shell showing !! You were right Reefer Reboot ! It is indeed a cowrie snail. I apologize saltyfilmfolks for not seeing a shell at the time, when you asked. I apparently was a little impatient. Thanks to everyone here who helped me..I have a great appreciation for you guys and this forum !
 
Very cool!

Our money snail is about 7 years old. We only see it every few months.

Did you buy it or score it as a hitchhiker?

Neat find either way!
Congrats!
