Vibrant green flatworm?

Is this a flatworm or am I crazy? Didn't see any movement and the Ric is normally extended over this spot on the rock.

 

Is this green thing a flatworm or just odd color on a rock lol

 

Thanks!

Its a chiton :) They're completely harmless. Cool little hitchhiker!

First green one i've seen. Pretty neat

Well I think the idea is definitely right. Little guys on the move since I last checked! As long as I'm counting the plates correctly (the little spots on his back right?) Then there are 8. Hope he doesn't hide away forever or eat all the coralline algae! I'm using the two rocks that the yuma rics came on to seed the coralline algae growth :)

 

He is moving!

Sorry about the bad pic! Will have better ones when I update my build tread tomorrow, my macros from Stella should be arriving :)

Very cool! I have one in my cold water tank, he started out the size of a pod and is now over an inch big a year later. He comes out at night and does a good job cleaning up.
