I had this shell in my tank and I pulled it out a few months ago. A buddy was over and was looking at it when he noticed this red thing on it. Neither of us have any idea what it is. Any ideas?

It's a chiton. They normally aren't a problem, and most aquarists consider them beneficial.

Cheers,

Great, thanks! I'll have to do a little reading on them.
