What are they?? I have two of them. They love hair algae, munching all the time.

Are they flat? Is it a limpit? I hear they are bad.

Not flat kinda volcano shaped. One is 1.5" on the long side. The other is 1". They are not hurting anything just pigging on the hair algae.

Hear is the foot.

Looks like a keyhole Limpet. Loves algae including Coralline. Will also eat leather corals. I use them to eat hydroids in my brine shrimp vat. Cool critters!
