Any ideas what these might be?

They look almost like tiny limpets. About 1/8 inch wide each. They were hiding in a patch of bryposis, revealed when one of my turbos came by and cleaned them off.

Thanks!

Limpets.

Are these reef safe, I hope? I see even more of them now that I'm looking...

Algae eaters. No worries. Good to have. Biodiversity is a wonderful thing.

Thanks! Agreed - the diversity is what makes the tank so interesting. I'm always excited to see new hitchhikers... except the ones that eat my coral. [emoji6]
