Some kind of limpet?

I just saw this little guy on my algae magnet, less than an hour after adding the first live rock to the tank:

Once I moved the magnet, he started doing some pretty speedy laps around the rim of my tank.

I'm assuming it's some kind of limpet. Anyone have a more correct ID?

They are good for clean up. Definitely a keeper!

You will probably have more soon!

I sure hope so. The LFS where I got the rock said it started out dry and had been sitting in their curing tanks for several months, so I'm hoping there won't be much cycling or an ammonia spike that could kill off all the inverts...
