Well after some good old googling...I think its a ''Cryptoplax*sp" flexible chiton.

The weird thing is that it was under the pest section...so im not sure what to think. Should I plop it back in the tank? Ive never heard of a bad chiton.

chiton. when they're in their inactive state you can see all their shell plates making them more obvious as a chiton. Neat critters
