I know the pic is fuzzy. Noticed this fella cruising the glass tonight and definitely eating algae. A limpet of some sort I believe. Pretty sure I’ve also seen him stuck to the glass under the sand bed as well. Anyone know what he is and if I should be concerned?

Could be, also could be a limpet. It is too blurry for me to tell for sure. Chitons tend to stick to rocks, where limpets love glass. Better picture would tell. But either way all good, unless it is a keyhole limpet. then maybe not.
