Ok, I got some pictures (albeit fuzzy) of this thing now. Can anyone help ID it? It's got white diamond shaped things on its back that are ringed in brown tissue. White bumps on its front end. It can flatten out to a tan disk and the diamond shapes are then circular.

He only comes out at night.

It sort of looks like a Chiton. It could also be a limpet.

Does it move around much?

Here are some pictures you can look at http://melevsreef.com/id/snails.html

Best of luck,

Roy

I guess he's a Chiton. Harmless it seems...so I'll let him live.

They usually hitchhike in on the live rock I see them all the time on the indo. rock and some times tongan rock. I usually put them in my refugium.
