From what I gather, this is some kind of limpet?

I'll answer my own question. Upon removing for closer examination, they have holes in the top. Keyhole Limpet. I removed all 4 that I could see. The lights had just gone off so they were all running out into the darkness.

I have tons of them and they all have the keyhole in top. They are great algae grazers and I've even seen mine take out spots of cyano.

From what I've read, the keyhole limpets will eat corals. That's why I chose to remove them.

I have corals and I've never seen them go near one. I've read conflicting information on keyholes. Better you be safe than sorry. Just giving you my experience.

I had one that was fine until I started added SPS's. I had to remove it.
