What is this?

Might be hard to tell. But have a critter tucked into a crevice in my rock work. It’s like a white color with brown stripes. Has antennae also. It moves slowly and is down in the lower right of the rock in the pic.

I'm not sure where to look. But let's have @KJ and the #reefsquad take a look.

This might help a little on where to look. Have been trying to find it again to take another pic but i cant find it now.

need to get a better view my guess would be stomatella

You might be right. Found another pic here on r2r that looks almost identical to what I saw. Hopefully that’s what it is. If I can ever find it again I’ll get another pic.

collonistas are usually smaller and have a circular shell, this looks to be larger and flat, like a stomatella

It was hard to see in the location that it was in. I tried to find it again last night but couldnt find it. It did appear to me as more flat than circular. The pattern does look like the Collonistas that I looked up.

Slowly moves white color with brown stripes shell? Collonista or baby trochus snail. Not a Stomatella.

It was moving slowly when i saw but but looked away for a min and was gone. Def white in color and brown stripes. Was more flat looking but part was hidden behind rock that i couldnt see. Still trying to find it but with it as small as it is there are plenty of holes in my rock for it to hide.

So finally able to see it again. Def a Stomatella.
