Hold on. The one your circled looks like a limpet. Does it look conical? And is it hard? If these two checks out, that’s a limpet which is a harmless algae grazer. Of course not all limpets are reef safe but the one in your photo resembles my limpets. They are part of my clean up crew which I use to basically keep my frags and frag rack clean.
