Yes, it's a stomatella. Beneficial grazer.

Good afternoon-looks like maybe a Sacoglossa slug to me.

Yes, Stomatella. You got some good pics of the actual animal, but most snails are easier to ID from the dorsum or the ventrum (if the snail is retracted) rather than the side. If you look straight down on its back you should be able to see the holeless, abalone-esque shell.

Cheers,



Don
