Stomatella (it's got a shell, right?)

and Ophiactis spp. brittlestar

No shell...Maybe it got lost along the way?

I'm going to have to go with Gary on both accounts. Sometimes the Stomatella's will have a smaller shell that almost blends in with their body. But otherwise, thats weird.

looks like there's a shell in the pic.

the long foot trails behind it. Google stomatella.

 

[superkat]

is that the same as a Chiton?

Stomatella is a snail

Similar to a lizard, they can leave their "tail" (actually foot) behind while the animal makes an escape.
