Before heading up to sleep last night I looked in the tank one last time, and saw some new critter on the rock that I had never seen in MY RSM in the 17 months I've had it set up. I thought it might be a Stomatella, but wasn't 100% sure. I quick took a few flash pics, none of which turned out well, but here are the best 2:
It almost looked like something covered in white teeth, and was a bit freaky. I did some Stomatella searching on the internet today and it appears to be the same as some pictures on the internet of Stomatella varia.

I was going to post it in the Hitchhiker section for an ID, but no need to now. Reef safe algae eater, and good to have. Amazing to still be finding new life after 17 months!
