Not a snail (chitons belong to the class Polyplacophora while snails belong to the class Gastropoda) though definitely a good algae grazer.

Thanks! In Dutch they are called "Keverslakken". Literally meaning Beetle snails. Just figured they were snails because of that.

Chiton snail and great algae eater often confused with limpet which would also be good
