Got a new fighting conch today and noticed two snail like critters attached to the back of him grazing on detritus in the sand behind him. Maybe limpets? I cant figure out how to post videos so here is a gif: Limpets? https://imgur.com/gallery/DKoIbIp

I have one or two on my conch, even larger. Don’t know what they are (someone else here at R2R will), but they never caused a problem. :)
 
This is my trochus with several. Every now and then the shell lifts slightly and a little trunk comes out. As far as I know that are algae grazers or filter feeders.
