let me be the first to guess that it is a chitin. (sp?) they are cool and unfortunately I don't have any in my tank.

Yup, chiton (pronounced "kite-on"). I have a few as well. Apparently they wreak havoc on acrylic though, just so you know.

Well the old saying has come true again. Here today gone tomorrow. No sign of it anymore. Guess I got lucky to get a pic of it. Thanks to Steve for posting it, Reef Rat and all who replied.

I see my chitons regularly. Don't sulk, it'll likely be back.
