I have an unidentified invertebrate. It is about 2 millimeters, round with about 6-8 "legs". 2 of the legs are longer. Sticks to the glass and is an orange color. Too small to photograph. Crawled out of the live rock. Any ideas?

Shelled or soft? Segmented?

It is about the right size for one of the many tartigrades (water bears) many are marine and they are almost indestructible
