Looks like a Limpet, and if it is, then it's fine. I finally saw one in my tank the other day and was surprised by how fast it was moving.

I concur. Limpet. Good to have. They are known to eat hydroids which is an added benefit if you have hydroids. If you don't - no biggie, they'll scrounge like any snail.
