I was just putting random pieces of liverock from my display to my sump and noticed this tiny little guy. Looks like a tiny chiton really. Maybe it is. Also there is a snail thing next to it. Looks like a limpet to me. Keep in mine that these guys are both tiny. Millimeters across. Any ideas?

Looks like might be a Chiton
I don't think it can be a baby chiton anymore. It has eyes and chitons don't have the traditional two eyes. This thing also moved too fast to be a chiton, seems to have legs, and also seems to maybe have two antennae kind of things on the head. I'm guessing this thing is a harmless isopod but you never know I guess

Pictures of eyes (and antennae things I think) and legs. Sorry if I'm blowing this out of proportion. It's mostly out of curiosity and also genuine concern. Mostly the first though ;)
