Strange looking creature found out of no where

[reefcadet]

Looks like it has two feelers out front and a foot of some sort also looks like it’s upside down.

Can't tell from the picture. Catch it, gently so you don't hurt it, and put it in a cup for a better picture. If that shell is attached to it, looks like maybe something along the lines of a limpet?

Fleshy limpet maybe?

 

[reefcadet]

More pics. It has a hard shell on one side. Very odd

Looks like a limpet, yeah. Maybe a slipper shell. If you flip it so the fleshy part is down, does it cling and move like a snail? Not sure why it's on its back.

Limpets are basically snails with a flat shell, instead of a spiral. Slipper shells are a similar animal, but have a tiny shelf/outcropping in the shell instead of it being completely flat. Molluscs are pretty cool.

Appreciate the input all!! Looks like a snail parasite limpet as it was discovered right where my snail did a u turn. If anyone thinks otherwise I’d love to know. Ah the rush or finding a pest and going through the motions of “maybe is good !” To “ I’m going to have to bleach this whole tank”

Stomatella

 

[Tired]

Not a stomatella. Stomatellas look like a snail body with little to no shell on it, not a shell as big as they are.
