Limpets- good or bad

[scooter2]

I have what I believe are limpets. I would like to know anyones experiences or opinions . I had a few but now it seems like more and more. Are these 1/4" white spots in the nooksand crannies their eggs?????

Pic is a little small.

I would think limpets would be harmless. To the best of my knowledge their diet consists of only algae. If limpets is what you even have.

Those are limpets. Some eat corals. Some are just intertidal and eat algae. Keep an eye on any zoos you have. I have some in my 12. You can find them sometimes up in your filters where there is high water flow. The ones you have look like algae eaters. The small white dots on your tank corners might be tiny hard shell tube worms. Do they look like they spiral? If you look really close you can see a crown.

They are very good at removing algae (Keyhole Limpets). I would tend to keep them unless my Leather corals started to complain. They sometimes can scrape the top layer off of Leathers.
