How big is it E?

 

[SanClementeEric]

It's almost as big as my finger.

I think I've ID'd it as a Chiton.

I'm thinking its a type of cucumber. I also think it safe. It seem to have the same type of mouth a snail has for scrapping algae off the rocks. Can u get a clean image of the tongue?

I would leave it in the sump and watch it. Just make sure I can't get caught in a pump. Cause if it is a cucumber and It perishes it could wipe out your whole system.
I had a tiger barb cucumber get caught in a mp40 a few months ago. I thought it was toast. But I didn't care and tossed it back in the tank. It hid under a rock for a few months not moving. I forgot all about it then like a month ago I saw it out and walked around the other side of the tank to see I had another one. The dam thing split on me.

I can't get a good pic of the mouth but it eats like a snail. I picked it up and it curled up like a Rollie pollie. Here's a pic of its armor plates.
