Can you ID these critters?

I've been finding quite a few of these tiny, < 1/4", critters primarily in my skimmer and a few elsewhere in the sump. They hold on VERY tightly, thus their ability to hang on in the skimmer, and pretty much have to be scraped off.

Limpets, a lot of small ones mean they probably spawned in your system.

While predatory ones exist, the majority, especially if spawning in your system, eat algae like other snails.

There is a smaller species of limpet. My sump is full of them.

Definitely limpets, most of the time they are harmless and great cleaners for the tank. I have alot in my sump/refugium as well.
