Critter ID (with pic)

[Cove Beach]

We found this guy tonight, looks to be 3/8" wide and maybe 3/4" long sticking out of the rock. No new rock in almost 2 yrs . Any ideas on this one guys?

Hard to judge by the photo, but maybe a chiton?

Yup, it's Cryptoplax larvaeformis. Should be harmless in your tank. (Hi Chuck)
