so i brought home some macro algea for my sump/refugium and i started noticing these little bugs climbing up the walls etc. not sure what they are but they seem to have a hard shell and look like snalis maybe?? thought i would send a pic and hopefully someone with more years of experience than me can ID it for me and tell me how concerned i should be. i kind of subscribe to the notion that anything i didnt put in there intentionally is probably unwelcomed and unwanted...

It looks sort of mutilated in the pic but it's either a stomatella or a chiton. Both are good to have. I'm leaning more towards stomatella with the shape of the shell though.
