Found this little guy in my tank today, haven’t seen it before. Can anyone ID this, looks like some kind of snail. Will it harm my corals? Is he reef safe?

Well then we definitely need a better picture. Collonistas are spirally twisted round snails while chiton are oval flatter mollusks with segmented sections. Google images to compare.
