They are sort of "snails on a half-shell." The shell is just like a little cap that only protects the center of their body, leaving the fringe exposed. Like Zooid says, you can probably get some from anyone with a tank. They don't get much bigger than your thumbnail.

You probably will get some in on live rock that you buy. The problem is that they live in the holes/crevasses and usually only come out when the lights go out. You may not see them until they come on again and then only for a couple of minutes.

I had hundreds of them (some really good sized) in my rock curing tank. Then I added a small six line wrasse (only fish) and now I seem to have none...they aren't well protected.

I've seen all the commonly kept shrimps eat Stomatella. Here's a peppermint shrimp nabbing one that stayed in the open too long.
(Before the peppermint could finish it's breakfast a scarlet cleaner stole the Stomatella.)
