What type of snail?

Post by garetjax » Sun Mar 06, 2011 10:25 pm

OK got a few pic's of a snail that looks like it doesn't have a shell. Anyone have any idea what type it is?

A "snail without a shell" would likely be a nudibranch of some sort.

Found out it is this. Thanks all.
Looks like a Stomatella:
