Where was the image taken?
-
Assuming that's from somewhere in the Indo-Pacific it's Calpurnus verrucosus. It's almost always found on the soft corals it eats.

It does look like it may be a bulla-stage juvenile of Calpurnus verrucosus. It's too skinny for an adult. It also looks like the photo may be inverted, making the animal appear to be sinistral?
Cheers,

Pic has only been cropped a little and was taken in Similan Islands. It was the only angle I could get without hacking down coral and blasting the rocks away.
Thanks

It's a very nice photo, and no other views are really needed. I just meant that it looks like the shell of the animal opens to the left, if it's held spire up (the right side up). The juvenile spire may just be tricking me, though.
Cheers,
Don
