This motor is from the inside of an automatic fish feeder. What type of motor is it, and more importantly, how would I power and control it?
Here's what I can tell you. The stainless piece is U shaped and goes through the inductor. Attached to the bottom of the green gear is what looks and acts like a single ring-shaped magnet. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm sure you are familiar with cogging in dc motors, well these little motors are designed so that the cog point when the coil is energised is slightly offset from the cog point with it off. What this does is it ensures that the rotor is slightly over center when the coil is energised and thus ensures that the rotor will rotate on every pulse and also that it will only rotate in one direction.
