ID please

Hi all
I found this critter this morning. He is now floating in a baggie in my tank til I can figure out what it is and if it is good or bad. All I think of when I look at it is an engorged tick. Thanks in advance!
Linda

Welcome to TRT Linda

It kinda looks like a stometella snail which is a harmeless algea grazer

Thanks for the welcome Kelli.
My first thought was a stometella also, but this thing has legs. I am really new to saltwater. My tank ( 93 gal.) has only been set up for 7 weeks. I am finding new things daily!
