Elizzy Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Ok, so I just found what I think is a type of sea cucumber or something.. Photos taken with iPhone - I removed aforementioned thing with large tweezers and placed in clear cup. It had a long string of sticky substance coming from the top of it before capture and was standing straight up...spawning? It moves real slow, so I don't think it's a nice snail. Doesn't have feathering - not a nudibranch? Less than a quarter of an inch long. Top view: Bottom view: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTy Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Those are my two guesses but I'm leaning towards chiton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
