Is this some type of snail?

I’ve recently found a whole bunch of these in my 14, and I didn’t put them in there. Are they desirable or a pest?

Potentially looks like a limpet which most are harmless and reef safe. The most common limpet in our hobby is the keyhole limpet.

Does the shell look like the image? Do you have a clearer picture?

I know what limpets look like, and I don't think these are them.... If that's correct grammer.... These appear to have a soft shell, and it kind of transitions to the body of the snail.... I mean, I think it's a shelled creature, just a soft shell. I'll try to get a better pic.

Also, I have two of these things. Looks like a tiny pile of poop and one has a orange spike sticking out of it.
