Seems to be some sort of limpet maybe. I thought it was a nudibranch at first but it actually has a large shell, and it's been around at least 4 years.
 
I don't think it's a chiton, but I could be wrong
 
I didn't see eight valves which is what through me off
 
I can't find much info on them they appear to be harmless. Does anyone know any more about them
 
those guys are excellent algae eaters and pretty cute looking when you see their face.
 
I agree that these are cool dudes. I have over a dozen.

According to my LFS owner, he’s pretty certain they’re harmless as he has dozens in his coral growout. He suspects they have been breeding in the system as well. No issues from him.
