I thought this was a lined chiton, but had someone else disagreed on that ID, so I’m not sure. Spotted at Friday Harbor summer 2022
Please help on the species if you can! It was on algae, crawling like a nudibranch and about a centimeter long. I have more photos of different angles if that would be helpful
