I know this is a very bad picture but it’s all I got. Tiny flat snail. Very small. This pic is zoomed in making it look larger than it is. Was probably about 1/8” long. Thanks

Hard to see but google limpet and stomatella snail . Both good guys.
I think its a stomatella, never seen limpet that color. Its hard to tell from picture.

Ya I’ve never seen either of those types of snails in a dark blue color :zany-face: .
 
Stomatella. I have a "regular" that I always see cruising around the tank at night. I always love seeing him.
 
the roundness hill with the overflow foot is what I see.
He lucked out, I’ve purchased both for my tank. I rarely see the stomatellas due to their nocturnal nature and dang if they don’t appear camouflaged on the rock!

I have both limpets and stomatella. limpets look more like a mount with a steepness and stomatella look like a rounded hill. and limpets "fit" in their shell. not like this little muffin top. or is that muffin bottom?
