Hi guys, couple of ID requests here.

I'm pretty sure this first one here is a limpet I got in with my TBS live rock. Hoping it's a reef safe one!

The second pic I initially thought were limpets in my sump, however they are moving pretty fast and I'm wondering if these might be baby snails of some sort? Perhaps trochus? Not sure what they would be surviving on if they are trochus snails, as I do not light my sump and there is nothing but sponges, bacteria and such in there, no algae. I found two of these guys. I also linked to a video of the one in the sump as well if that helps.

Thanks!!

It doesn't look like any of the sundial pics I found. The pic I posted is a bit deceptive and makes it look kinda flat but it's got a pyramid shape like the trochus in the display.

If it is pyramid shaped, it looks exactly like my baby trochus snails
 
Looks like a limpet snail
 
2nd one is a trochus histrio or a trochus radiatus im pretty sure, or could be any other kind of trochus. do you have any trochus snails currently that you added yo your tank?
