Is it a slug, Is it a snail, no it’s a ???

Hello fellow Reefers,
This is my first time posting and need some help. I found this guy in my display tank next to a hard coral that looked like it had bees nibbled on. I put it in my sump for awhile before removing it to the toilet. Now I notice about what seems to be babies from this guy all over, more than I can count. It has a small hard top section that in the right light seems to be iridescent. It cannot retract all the way into a shell.

That's a stomatella snail, which is a very desirable member of the CUC. They do not eat coral.

Aww stomatella snails! They are so cute! Don’t kill them, they are helpful.

REEF SAFE STOMELLA AND GREAT ALGAE EATER. THEY GENERALLY COME OUT AT LOW LIGHT OR LIGHTS OUT
