Was chilling in front of the tank this morning and observed some spawn being released. At first I thought it was brittle stars spawning which I’ve seen them do before. When I looked closer I saw a small round critter, with antenna, and these two pink protrusions where the spawn was being released. Once it finished, it slowly crawled back into the rock work. I didn’t observe any “legs”.
I don’t think it’s been a pest, but I’m very curious as to what it might be.

Looks like tunicates
 
I’d be inclined to agree but are tunicates mobile?
Generally not
Just went to my computer screen and this a snail, not tunicate and looks like collanista if small or astrea even cowrie snail
