they are the same beast , if it looks like that it may be a abalone . if so congrats they are great algae eaters , manually removing one is next to impossible cause they hold on super tight . also may be problem if you dont glue frags down . i love them tho .one good way to tell is on the shell with the pits . gl

If its the same then the shell is flexible because I peeled if odd while it was moving and it folded up like a snail but I didn't see it look like your firat pic. It started trying to crawl as soon as I took my hand away
 
first pic is its head just zoomed in a bit . but you can see the holes in shell that im talking about towards top of shell in first pic. i dont know that shell is flexible but mine is pretty big so a juvi may still be soft ? idk .
 
I threw it in my sump. What do you guys think about these little fellows?

I've been seeing more and more but not sure if they are good or bad
 
Asteria star. I had a ton the eat coraline and heard some people complain they eat zoas although they didnt bother min
 
Well this one's in my sump so I don't mind those but I've seen a few in my dt. Any recommendations for what will get rid of them. Keep in mind I only have a 29gal tank

Good to know maybe that's why my coraline is never really on the front of my glass and I'm starting to get some white spots on my rock the size of one of these guys
