Default identification help

I have attached a photo of a creature that hitched a ride on some LFS cured live rock that I recently purchased. I've taken several pictures but have not been able to get one with the eye. The eye is just off to the left of the creature behind the rock. I am not sure whether it is alive or calcified although it looks to be in good condition. Any help in identification or a site that may be able to identify would be great.

Thanks

The first site I always look at for identifying anything is wetwebmedia.com

I can't tell from the pic if that critter is hard or soft shelled, but it looks like some type of snail or slug to me. Check out this site. Gastropods

I need some help identifying some little white "bugs" that have showed up in my aquarium. I set it up 2 months ago and introduced live rock pretty quickly. After 1 month, I added a royal gramma and a chocolate chip sea star. Now, there are tiny white bugs that look like caterpillars/fleas crawling on the glass. They are much too small to photograph. My royal gramma doesn't seem harmed, but perhaps is breathing quickly. Anyone know what these little things are? Is there something that will eat them? Thanks!

They are pods. Also known as free food. Your gramma will go to town on them.
