i discovered this odd looking thing on my fiji rock today it looks just like the rock and looks like a shell like thing that opens and it also seems like it has a beak on the front end. its really hard like rock and moves up and down slowly from a gap in the rock. i tried to feed it a brine shrimp like coral but no response.

i really want to know if it is a threat for any of my inhabitants.

Would it be possible for you to take some more pictures of it from other angles please? May give us a better chance at providing a specific ID...

Thanks

I'll try and take some more photos during daylight.
Although there aren't really any other angles to get photos from the way the rock is positioned.
