Looks like a slug with half a small bival shell on it's back?

[greenreefer]

I've had these hitch hikers for almost a year they came in on some Marshall Island LR. Picture a typical garden type slug, but small maybe .5 - 1 inch, with half of a small bival style shell on it's back. I think I started with 2 and now have about 8. They all have similar shells, but their body colors/patterns can be very different. For example some have a dark green base color with yellow spots and some others look more like zebra with grey and white stripes. They seem to be nocturnal and algea eaters both on the glass and LR. I pretty sure they don't bother anything since they've been in there a year, but would like to figure out what they are. During the day the seem to find a spot to find and completely hide under the shell so it looks like half a small bival stuck to LR.
Look just above the Blue Orgasm zoos in the pic.

Hard to see but maybe a chiton. Do a google search and see if it matches.
