Stomatella snail....hmmm....maybe...that looks like it could be the guy. Yeah, it was making smoke signals for sure....lol. And in the vicinity of a hermit too...so maybe it's the same scenario as you.

I wasn't able to tell if it had a shell or not. Initially I thought it did...then I had to run out to get my kid from school. When I came back (10min later) it was already in its cave.

So these guys are OK?

Thanks,
Jamie
