Um, I'm not even sure what kind I have because he came with the tank. He is a very common one, brown and black spotted. He does look like he may not have scales, though. Thanks for the advice- I hadn't even thought of that.

I have something like what you described in my tank and found your post on a search. Did you ever figure out what it was? I can't seem to figure out what is in my tank either. Any help appreciated.
