Small critter identification

[Aries360]

Hello guys, if anyone can help me identify this and how to remove them other than manually that would be great. I just freaking made a huge scratch on my acrylic cause one of these jerks was camouflaged under the cleaner. Used to have the small starfish but used a harlequin shrimp to remove them, hoping for a similar solution, small whitish oval shaped

yep, limpet. Good clean up crew member. Not sure of predators though. Maybe a wrasse?

they seem to be more fresh water. Also mine are all white no color. Hard to get a good pic but they do seem similar to limpets tho

Now what to buy to kill them all

Why do you want to kill limpets!?

Why do you want to kill limpets!?

Because when you have acrylic class pests like those get caught in the glass scrapper and scratch the glass no matter how careful I was . I had my tank for years. And finally got my first big scratch

No one has any ideas? Another dang scratch, everyone keeps talking about how good these cleanup crews are. I guess most do not have acrylic glass. Surely somebody knows how to rid my tank of these critters. At this point, I’m willing to lose all of my cleanup crew. Maybe a trigger? Or a harlequin?
