are these immobile or do they just move very slow???
I have had an outburst of these since I got back and I have tons of smaller 1/4" little guys around my tank and I noticed quite a few inside my protien skimmer and in my filter socks... assuming they are good

They just move very slow, but do keep an eye on them as some species within this family can pose a threat to other life in the tank. Any chance of a photo?

They look like keyhole limpets. I had some way in the past. They can be good but mine eventually turned on me and ate some things they shouldn't (coral). When they get larger I would keep a keen eye out for what they are eating.

They move about as fast as a snail if they want. Very hard to get off whatever they are stuck two without killing them.
