    Like I said it is about 1.5" long. It moves like a snail. Sliding, no noticably feet or head, tail, or eyes for that matter. It looks to be segmented but I can't tell for sure. It has regular bumps along the segments. It always is seen on the same rock. I am guessing it has a hole or something it calls home. Hope that helps
