Seems like a micro conch snail? Or a saltwater cocaroach? Or what weirdo is this?

I'll try another photo tonight, but it is smaller than a marker tip. That is in 8x zoom
If you're hoping for a positive ID you may want to consider pulling it out of the tank to photograph on a white backdrop. Some of you guys must have some seriously sharp eyesight; looks like a coraline covered shell to me.
