I've never seen that kinda flesh in a crab although they're protected by a shell! This is one of those weird things that happens in this hobby! The shell is flexible, I've never seen anything like this!

It does look like one, now that I've got a direction to go in! Thank you! We'll see if it's around in the morning! The 2 blue legs I've observed trying to get after it shortly left it alone. I'm assuming it's alive?!

I was wondering if it's a chiton as well...

Of chitons and cuttlefish: exploring the beaches of El Quseir
Our sojourn by the Red Sea is driving me to dive into marine biology. Fascinating facts and a good dose of Latin.

I’m moderately familiar with chitons and can usually recognize them, when they are flat and on a surface. Now that someone said curled up chiton, I can see it. You guys and gals are good!

Chiton!! I'm 100% sure it's a chiton, I usually search for these at the beach when I'm bored, I would be so happy having one but keep it If you want I guess, I love even dangerous hitchhikers.I just found this in a filter sock, has some bristle ends on it. Blue legs tried to get it but then soon walked away?
it's a "snail" that is not a snail according to some research that I did in the past.
