I have a 29 gallon saltwater tank, that has been going for about a year. Nothing new has been added. I have around 45 pounds of live rock. A few days ago I noticed something different. It is about half an inch by a 1/4 inch. It is brown and white, slightly coned at the top, center. It moves all over the tank, very slowly. Anyone know what this might be?? It is circled in yellow. Sorry Pic is a little fuzzy.

Hey I am quite sure that the one in question, and the one not noted 3" SE of the other one, is a Limpet...maybe even a Keyhole Limpet.
They are surf dwellers who scoot along eating algae. Harmless and useful.

The only fish that I see are a maroon clown and a bi-color blenny . . . . . perhaps the blenny is what you are thinking of.
