Help ID this creature found in tank last night

[IrishTang]

So I did my usual tank inspection before going to bed and crawling across my clove polyps was this face hugging little B. HOPING it's not a flatworm ( Do they get this big?) If it is, what should I do about it? Six -line? prazipro?Needless to say I scoured the tank afterwards but couldn't find anything else like this. I have quite a few Stomatella snails but never saw them in a "white" stage? Any help would be appreciated!

What's the best way to get in touch with them? Are they on this forum ? I guess I could try facebook.

Does it have a hard shell? Kinda looks like a cowrie.

So I posed this question to the folks at FAOIS and their best guess would be some genus of Stomatella which has over 50 different species. Interesting thought on the Cowrie, The striations on his back DO look kind of similar to pictures of baby Cowrie but the shell was not hard. Though it did have 2 small antennae/eye stalks? on his head.

I would say search Family onchidiidae, marine pulmonate spp. But just a guess.

I would agree with that looking at the pics on my monitor vs. cracked cellphone screen. Pulmonates are a much more interesting group of critters, IMO.

Interesting, just goes to show you never know what will pop up in our tanks. I wonder what he hiked in on.
