1cm long 3mm wide oval red hitchhiker

[B Lo]

This little sucker must have ridden along with some sea shell taken off the Atlantic coast of south Florida. I have no idea what it is but it moves when food is introduced near it in the water. It's fairly small and tough to get a decent photo of. What is it? Is it dangerous to have in a FOWLR tank? Thanks in advance for any replies.

Sorry no idea but maybe try the pest thread

Odd critter, isn't it, Josh?

I tried to get a better photo. This is about the best I can manage.

Cool! Is it soft bodied or not and what do those protrusions feel like? It makes me think of my cowrie with it's mantle fully extended except the mantle of mine is gray.

Try looking at some pics of nudibranch hitchhikers, if it doesn't have a shell

I agree, harmless little cowrie.

If cowrie, they're pricey. Good deal.
