it moves, but when I go to remove it, it solidifies to the rock and I cannot even get a fingernail under it...

Can't think of the name at the moment, but it's a harmless scavenger.

good, it was upsetting me more because I would look at it, and it would not move...than Id go get the finance to see it, and it would be gone...it did that like 5 times, thanks for such a quick response.

Bah it has to be large enough to be worth eating . Your fish are so fat and large I would eat them in a heartbeat. This thing though might be if it were larger. I love abalone and it looks similar enough...heh.
