Looks like an algae scraping mouth in the bottom right.

My first impression is that it's something similar to a stomatella. Regardless, I'm not an expert, and when in doubt, pull it out.

Stomatella snail...completely reef safe and friendly. No need to pull it out.

They're nocturnal, so you're more likely to see them at night. They also are usually silverish white...black is more uncommon. If you're wondering, the black is not a separate species. They can mate with other colored ones...you'll get some neat variations. I have red, white, black, and green ones...they make rainbow babies. :-)
