    Need Tank critter ID

    Hmm. Not the same color but shape is correct. The marking on the back are not the same...the one in my tank has something like the nodes on the right side but that is all. The rest of the body has banding like the Chiton. Maybe a relative. Thanks. I will have to wait till he come into view...
