Found this guy on the back of my flipper.  It is  iridescent red.  Thoughts?  Thanks in advance.

Looks like a stomatella.

Thanks for your quick responses.  Guess he's a keeper .   Dont think ive seen one this brightly colored .  In dim light he glows in the tank. 

By the way, this is such a great site with very helpful members!

I have a few with glowing pinkish shells and others that just look black. 🤷🏻‍♀️ They are good clean up crew that is out mostly at night.

Oh, neat, stomatellas are fun. I'm not sure if they're slugs or snails, but they're in that group. They have a very small shell and often rather long antennae. 

 

Though when you said "flipper", I thought you meant like a swim fin, and was a little confused as to why you'd put an unidentified ocean creature into your reef tank!
