Its a stomatella and a true keeper. The best algae eater you can rarely buy and very reef safe
Aplysia sp. is a good guess as Aplysiid (taxonomic family Aplysiidae) sea hares have shells,* but - given that I can't see the rhinophores (the chemosensory bunny ears of the sea hares), I'm leaning more toward a bubble snail species (taxonomic family Haminoeidae). Unfortunately, I haven't researched these guys or their relatives much at this point, so I'm not sure what species, but I'd guess either a Haloa sp. or a Haminoea sp.aplysia parvula? looks like it has a small shell underneath the mantle on its back. @ISpeakForTheSeas

Edit: Just to add, bubble snails should be beneficial algae-eaters either way.
What a cool find and what a cool video!Found a short video I about Bubble snails
