Looks like it has too much shell to be a stomatella. Can you take it out and put it in a small container to take pictures?
It has disappeared in the rock I will if I am able to find it tomorrow it’s about a half a centimeter. Is there any snail that is not reef safe that may have somewhat of the same appearance?

thank you

Impossible to say as the pictures you posted make identification difficult.
 
Yea sorry the pictures suck the light had already turned off and he was at the very back of the tank. If I find it today I’ll take better pictures.
thank you
Looks like what is called a sand flea (Platorchestia platensis)... .just a baby by the looks of it. They're often used as fishing bait.

Idk sand fleas can’t travel on walls so I’m pretty sure it may be some sort of snail. Not sure wear the heck he went but when he shows up I will definitely take better pictures and post it.
