Algae Cowrie

[Sugar Magnolia]

I've had this guy in the 2.5 for several months and it does an outstanding job of keeping the tank clean. I generally don't see much of it since it tends to crawl into the chamber of the AC mini to sleep the day away, but he was out and about this evening and I snapped a pic of it.

It's very cool how that frilly area covers it's shell when it's out cruising, but when it sleeps, the shiny cowrie shell is visible. Such a cool critter!
