Not sure if this is the right place for it. I think i found a baby abalone or Keyhole Limpet in my 75 gallon cold water octo tank. A week before i got squirt i got some really pores rocks in the deep tide pools. I think a baby abalone or keyhole limpet crawled out. Its really small my camera wont focus. Will squirt eat it and is that even possible? If it is an abalone should i return it because they are kinda endangered?
 
You can tell the difference by the number of holes on the shell. The abalone will have multiple holes, the limpet will have only a single hole. The abalone will also have a swirl to its shell while the limpet will be conical.
