like others said, it looks like a limpet. I dont think the type that you have will cause any harm. they seem to be harmless aglae grazers.

Maybe you missed Finding Nemo, but if you do not trust it you can flush it down the toilet and it will go to the ocean.

That is a black mantle limpet. I think they are sometimes called elephant snails. I had over 100 in my 125gal. Never seen a problem, nice grazers.
