No shell but it's hard like a bug with an exoskeleton

I think I have those as well. It is some kind of isopod. Maybe algae eater. I never see them moving, just find them under frag plugs. One of these days I will check at night with flashlight to see if they are out

I’ve seen them too. Limpet or chiton? Never seen any negative impact...

You know after further examination I believe your right that they are a type of pod they look like a small version of the deep sea pods

I checked last night and they were on glass and frag plugs. Makes for a good reef tank diversity
