Critter ID, pics

[Mhamilton0911]

Super weird critter. I can see antenna, possibly a shell? Dark almost black in color but with white specks, very reclusive. But here's the kicker, it poofs clouds of something??? Looks like underwater smoke, lingers for a second then dissipates. In trying to upload a video, but In the video you can see it near the end of the clip. Very weird. What it is??


Youtube keeps getting stuck on upload, I'm still trying!

that's a stomatella..

It does seem to be a stomatella snail, or else some type of sea slug/nudibranch.
The cloudy poofs are likely reproduction attempts with broadcast fertilizing.

yep - it is a stomatella (a little darker than most).. but the body is pretty easy to recognize. they do disperse "clouds" occasionally which like Soren mentioned is likely reproduction. they are harmless and kinda cool little guys.
