Hello,

I just got back from my LFS after purchasing a new conch. About acclimating I noticed the pictured hitchhiker on the shell. Can anyone help me identify it? Should I remove it?

Looks like a chiton - not 100% sure but I’ve had a few of those before and they are harmless

Thanks for the replies. Still new at this and couldn't figure out what it was. Gonna let it stay on the conch. In it goes.
