tlpmyd is an unknown quantity at this point
can someone identify this snail? good for reef or hazardous?

can anyone identify this snail? its right under the bottem my green bubble see it?? is it good for the tank/corals/fish or a hazard? is it a coral eater? i never purchased them, they appeared after a few months of having my tank up, and they are multiplying like gremlins at midnight lol. they dont bother me unless i find out they are eating my corals. they are shaped like oval at the bottem and come to a perfect tip at the top, when i heard about pyramid snails i thought thats what these were because they're shape looks somewhat like a pyramid, but when i googled it, it doesnt look like them.

I think it is a limpet. In my experience they are harmless algae eaters.

It is not a pyramid snail. Pyramid snails are taller. I cannot see the foot, but would concur that it is a limpit. But don't take my word for it, I'm just a beginner.
