It looks almost like a mexican turbo without a fully formed shell. It has those irridescant linse along the outside which just look to me like a turbo. What scale is that picture? How big is the subject we're viewing?

I'd say limpet. Is it conical? If so, they can be great grazers, although I had to evict a bunch that developed a taste for my corals.

Because someone does almost every time? I'm really sorry for that JON.
The little thing is only the size of ... half a dime. The shell is almost flat. It curves just a little, thats why I am confused.

Where is the FISH WHISPERER when we need him? (Fish spotlight appears on cloud behind me, waits for Monty and his infinite wisdom to arrive) :D

I was going to suggest Dr Ron's forum (he is a malacologist after all), but was afraid Childawg was going to beat me for advertising other sites.
Anyway, I agree. Go to the Ask Dr Ron forum, and post that pic. He should be able to tell you.
