A question relate to something's ID

[oyf709]

um..I was cleaning some hair algea off my tank and i found alittel guy about half inch long with pair of antana at front and body was kinda brownish.It was too small and too quick for me to actrually can get a good pic of it.When I try to move it out from the LR it slide away into one of the hole with a very fast speed. At the back of this thing there is sorta some kinda shell but it is not hard, it just looks like a shell.
I am just wondering is this a young Abalone which shield is not yet fully developed or is it just some kinda sea slug.
I understand it quite hard to give me a perfect answer but i was hoping someone ever saw a Abalone at their juve. stage.
If it is some sorta sea slug are they going to eat corals?Or algea eater?
Thanks for your time and helps

well just a quit update I foudn more than 1 one them at the same area now..so i decide to touch its back to see if its actrually a hard shell...the answer is yes...
so this thing is browish with 1 shell on the back...if i am right it should be Abalone ?
*cross fingures*
I do have 2 Abalone in my tank alrdy so not sure if they actrually can reproducing.

Sounds like it could be stomatella varia. Here's a link to pics and some info on them if this is what it is.
