Pest? Snail/Slug ID

[Richmond]

I saw him tonight after lights out; He's big, with some frilly things on his back, never seen anything like it this size before. He's probably the size of a nickle.

Any advice is appreciated

Limpet perhaps? (Scutus)

That was my first thought; just hoping for a second opinion while he's visible incase he needs to be yanked.

We need to see the top side of it.

That is the top of it.

Nudibranch will have frilly things (gills) on their backs.

Its a sea hare, it seems to have a shell under the tissue in the front, an easy way to distinguish sea hares from nudis.

Fleshy limpet? @KJ

The shell region looks too small to be a fleshy limpet, plus their external tissue is generally evenly distributed around the shell, in the picture, the tissue trails behind it. Doesn't this look similar, its a baby sea hare?

Here is a fleshy limpet

What about Scutus ... "elephant" slug?

But isn't that a sea hare? Fleshy limpets have exposed shells (from what I've seen)

Slugs are hard, they all look the same and as babies they can be really hard to tell apart. Evolution really dropped the ball on that.

This is probably the closest picture I've seen... mine is darker in color, what is this?

Fleshy limpet. My original guess
