Is this a Stomatella? It had a very fleshy rear end that came off when I grabbed it.

Yes it is. It will be fine. That is a defense mechanism and it will grow back.

Thanks Freed, I guess I panicked when I saw it cruzing by my Milli frags so I grabbed it. It was a good sized one at about 3/4"

It is now back in the display and went right back to the live rock and what looked like grazing.

I think the tail is still squirming in the cup I took the photo in.

They are very good algae eaters.
