Found this between the plug and lr that was glued to it

[salttanklife]

I pulled the rock away from the plug and this little guy was on it. I don't know what it is, so I took it out. Is it good or bad for the tank? It's about the size of a piece of rice.

Looks like a flat worm to me

 

[salttanklife]

So I need to flush it then

 

[matt_97055]

I would, then dip the frag. Depending on what the coral is.

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

yup, dump it.
no shell? flat?
flat not good or in doubt, throw it out.

 

[salttanklife]

Thanks

It's a chiton.

 

[salttanklife]

This is the top side of him. I left him in the bag overnight and he's still alive. Should I keep him? I don't see a shell

Cool little Chiton.

 

[salttanklife]

I've got the bag floating in the tank to bring the temp back up. Looks like he'll be saved...

 

[Roboson]

He's a tiny one. His shell is still partially transparent. He is a fantastic algae eater.

 

[salttanklife]

I'm hoping he makes it. I put him in while the lights were still off and the fish was sleeping. He didn't really move much but I didn't have long to watch him before leaving to have tires put on my truck

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

Whew. Good save

Chilln. Also I have a slug with a shell 4get what here called but threw 1 away out of fear then realized there good so now I have 3 from babys. Also have 2 other snails breeding. The cyano eater nerites and rogue what I think is turbos.

Sounds like you could be talking about a stomatella snail. I had one tiny one when I started my tank and now I'm at 4. They're all pink in my current tank but my last tank I had 1 pink and 1 black. I was watching my old tank one day and kept seeing what looked to be a puff of smoke coming from the rock work on each end of the tank. It was these snails, one was putting off eggs and the other was fertilizing them.
