What Could This Be O.o

[-Nemo-]

I discovered this thing about 30 minutes ago, and ever since have been watching it. I'll try working on a picture, but atm its in the back of the tank and its small so it doesn't show up well on any pictures.

It reminds me of my conch. The first thing i thought when i first looked at it was a baby conch. It has the "elephant nose" and two "antennas". Sorry I don't know the scientific terms Its no bigger than a dime, and there's a definite difference in color and texture from the "nose" to the rest of it, the whole thing is a greeny-yellw color. It was on a piece of rock about 4" off the sand and was using its "nose" sucking on the rock like the conch does on the sand. I tried looking up baby conchs but could find absolutely NO info.

It could be a coincidence or not, but today i bought a frag of xenia, the tank it came from had a queen conch it among many other things.
Just went to get another look at it, and its moved no clue where it went. I'll have to keep an eye on it.

Thanks for any info.

Maybe a Margarita Snail? That particular snail looks like it has a "nose"

Stomatellid perhaps?

I don't think thats it Danno.
Miagi, That could possibly be it. I did my best to take a picture, when i saw it again. And yes, I know i have bubble algae My emerald crab has yet to find it.

If its the Stomatellid, do you think it came from the xenia?

Looks like a Stomatellid to me. There are better pictures than mine found on a GoogleImages search. It could have come from any new introduction, including your previous LR, a coral purchase (including your zenia), or even a bunch of macro-algae.
