The mottling and shape, along with the faded rear edge of the opercle makes think juvenile shell cracker.

"The mighty worm" - I like that, Mike.
My first thought is gill cracker, Rick; is that a faded edge to the rear of the ear flap?

Look at the beautiful color scheme. Always tend to chew on things more it can swallow.
