Hi,
I need help IDing this creature:
The shell is hard and it has incredible suction power.
Thanks Uel

Hi,

It is a chiton, a grazing mollusk. See here (http://web.archive.org/web/20020815020042/www.animalnetwork.com/fish2/aqfm/1999/aug/wb/default.asp) for more information about them. Also you may wish to search this forum using "chiton" as a key word to see some other threads about them.

They are harmless grazers. :D
