hmmm not a 100 percent sure but it almost looks like an abalone, if it is then they are good grazers. they require a pretty good supply of algae.

You should be okay... the only ones I really look out for are Sundial snails... those are the zoanthid munchers. But they should be easily ID'd, their shell is rather flat. Should be a couple of pics of them on here somewhere... do a search for sundial and it should pop right up.
