Of the hundreds I have seen that is the first juvi I have seen that looks like that. Most look like the adult even in the juvi state. PI is one of the big exporters of those.
 
Yup, Haliotis fulgens since they came from ORA... http://www.orafarm.com/invertebrates.html

well, ORA says 3" but whatever :p If it gets too big, we can cook it up at Bryan's next hoopla :-D

Maturity is reached at 2.4 to 5 inches (61-128 mm) length or 5 to 7 years…..
Lifespan is up to 30 years or more.
