could it be a limpet or is it soft?
 
Looks like a limpet to me as well. If so, they are for the most part harmless and will consume algae, albeit at a slower pace than snails. I had a bigger one get stuck in my pump and make a racket for a little while one time.
 
It is visible in the bowl just wanted to be sure before putting coral in DT ,I have not seen aefw so after reading a couple of threads wanted to be sure.
