If it isn't a stomatella, and there is no shell. Then I am going to guess a nudibranch.

find a shell for him to crawl into maybe if he lasts long enough he will build a new one bit it is doubtfully that he will last that long I had a snail pulled out of a Shell by a larger one it squeezed into the shell with the other snail now he has a small shell and I think he has left the other snails shell because I don't see him in there any longer. Snails are strange some times.

his normal shell is on the bottom of the tank. i remember knocking him off the glass yesterday when i was cleaning and he must have just crawled out of it and ditched it
