Can someone help me identify these? I am starting to see several of them in my tank on the rockwork. Thanks in advance.

Limpets. Little algae scrapers, generally not harmful unless they migrate into a pump impeller.
 
yup definitely limpets like @KrisReef said, I have so many in my tank lol, they do a great job eating algae for their size
