We need a sharp focus photo for identification. It appears to be a mollusk as I think I see a foot protruding from the left side. If the mantle goes all around the shell it could be a cowrie

It moved. I'll have to wait. He's really small. Are they bad to have in tank?

Snails (mollusks) vary. Some are harmless algae eaters and great for the tank. Some are carnivores - not so good.

Stomatella. Best snail ever.

Do I see hairs or spines? Not stomatella. Now I'm curious.

As a larvae or egg on a rock or frag. Is the spiny part a shell? Maybe a juvenile cucumber. I've got a thorny one that stretches out like a worm. I'll find a pic.

Under whites he matches the color of your creature. Lol. Maybe a baby one of these guys. He's scary but a great sand cleaner..

Pics are very fuzzy. Assure your tank glass and lens are clean. If lens against glass, will be fuzzy
Im thinking collanista snail but hard to tell from image

Collanistas are very small - about the size of a pea
