...in my 29G JBJ nano reef tank. I restarted this tank in October, (one anemone and clown, a bunch of zoas, palys, mushrooms, a coco worm, a mandarin gobi, and a bunch of snails, hermit crabs, etc.). Today a new creature showed up. Head and behavior similar to a snail, but the shell doesn't look like one. Here are a few pictures I took of it:

In the 3rd shot you can see the mottled flesh in the lower part part of the picture with an oval 'carapace' on top.
The 'carapace' is less than a centimeter but it appears that the creature is larger than a centimeter.
I'm wondering if maybe some of my snails procreated to produce this? Can anyone identify this? Hopefully it isn't a dangerous hitchhiker.
Thanks,
