Wow! There are loads of different Nudibranchs! I'm having a hard time finding a photo of one in a larval state with a shell: a shell that looks like the one I saw, anyway.

I just don't want to overlook something. I'm so new to this, and I have so much to learn. I would hate to find out six months from now that it was something that I needed to aggressively hunt down. Or, maybe there is a non-snail that has a very turbanesque shell?

There is a dwarf white leg crab. I didn't see any claws on this thing, but it was really, really small.

Sounds like a hermit crab to me. Nudis don't do shells...
