Mitch

It is a Chiton. It is noturnal and only eats macro alge and is NOT carnivorious. It is very sensitive to lights and hence only comes out in the dark. Usually found as a hitchhiker in tonga rock

It does look quite a bit like a chiton. Give it a poke and a pry, see if it is hard and difficult to get off the rock (don't try too hard, you don't want to tear it). They're a type of plated mollusc. As noted, most species are herbivores, although a few are carnivorous.

So I should leave it in there then or would it be better for the tank overall to remove it?

He is very sensitive to light. Every time I took a picture it would cringe.

I would leave it. It will be fine in there :biggrin:

Christy :)

Unless it's frightening your clownfish!

:biggrin:

The clowns do get a littly testy when it starts branching out towards their sleeping quarters.

Definitely.

They are light-sensitive. Apparently they have several thousand tiny light-sensitive points on the outside of their shells. Why this would be I didn't bother to check.
