It has a stomatella look to it. Let's get more eyes on this..... @KJ , #reefsquad

Excellent picture. Someone can ID it with that, although I can't

Me neither.....It almost looks like the love child of a stomatella and a Marginella.

Maybe an abalone?

Wow this looks like a stomatella. Though I variant I have yet to see so far. How is its “tail” like, is it long?? Or if not does it look like its been cut off/broken off? A tell tale sign of a stomatella is its really really long foot that extends beyond its shell.

Don’t think so as I don’t see the curved row of holes that line the shell of abalones.

To tell you the truth, when I initially removed him from the tank there was a piece near him that appeared to be like a foot. Wasn't sure if it was a coincidence or if I inadvertantly broke it off when I removed him. I think you may be on to something - stomatella.

It possibly could be its detached foot. I regularly find my stomatellas with their foot broken off since they might have gotten spooked by my hermits. They would detach parts of their foot like lizards. What was the word, autotomy i think.
