Is it a nudibranch?
The picture isn't very clear.

Take a photo of the bottom or put on glass and take pic of it that way.

Better pictures but have no clue. Snail of some sort. Clean the shell off to see what the shell looks like.

Looks like a Chiton.

 

[anthonygf]

Yes I agree. Just got some in today from ReefCleaners. Nice looking shell on them.

OK. Maybe a Cowrie. You are most likely correct.

Cowrie, really good.
They move around a lot.
They have smooth shells, what the pics show is a mantle covering the smooth shell.
