New to reefing - what creature is this and is it friend or foe?
 
Does it appear to have a shell?

With shell Limpet, Stomatella, Citon perhaps. Without shell perhaps flatworm.
 
If it is a stomatella it is friend. And often eaten by others in the tank. Look them up and see if it is what you have. I love the little guys.
 
It looks to have a shelled back. And it’s really stuck to the glass.
 
@Elle7519 They are one of my favorites. Sadly many fish love them also. They do have a shell. But it really doesn't protect them.
 

ARE YOU READY TO CONFESS TO CRAZIEST, DUMBEST, FUNNIEST THING YOU’VE EVER DONE IN REEFING?
