When in doubt, pull it out, LOL - just kidding. What is it's behavior? It looks like it may be a primary algae grazer? because it appears to be sitting on a bed of caulerpa.

 

[mafiea]

yes that is correct, he is my 25 gallon refuge I think he is a hitch hiker

I don't know with that one. It almost looks like a tadpole of some sort. But on the other hand it doesnt appear to have any sort of characteristics that would cause it harm to other animals. It looks as if it's mouth cavity it slightly extruded, might want to check the thing for teeth.

Looks like some type of Bubble Shell Snail to me AKA Head-Shield Snail. They are all algae grazers.
