I found this guy stuck to the glass of my tank this morning. I can't see if there's a foot due to the position of the tank. I won't complain if it is a limpet, but I want to make sure, especially since most pictures I can find have a colored/striped shell.

I got a clean up crew shipment last week from Reef Cleaners. I did check for hitchhikers, but I must have missed this one because I haven't added anything else into my tank for months.

Intentional cleanup are nassarius, dwarf cerith, nerite, and button snails, plus a pair of blue porcelain crabs. Currently nothing else in the tank except a clownfish.

Really appreciate any help with this!

Editing to say that I'm planning to add LPS and softies, so if anyone knows if this species is reef safe or not, I'd appreciate that info, as well.
