Name that snail!!!

[chuck]

ok, I was removing some lagea the other night(bryopsis?) and found this little guy hiding in it. Now he is chilling with my Christmas tree worms...

any ideas?

 

[Mr. Slippery]

I have one of those guys. I don't know what kind of snail but he's pretty cool looking. Kind of looks like those japanese hats, like the ones Raiden from Mortal Kombat wears

Does the body of the snail hang out past the Chineese hat?

If so it's probably a Limphet (sp) they're good guys.

 

[Mr. Slippery]

they have like a frilly edge around the bottom of the shell

 

[chuck]

it does when it is moving... I tried to pick it up but it did NOT want to let go of the rock

and it dies have a frilly edge too
