looking for an ID
 
Anyone know what this thing is? I discovered it the other night after lights out. Sorry for the poor photos, they were taken using a video camera & flashlight. Anyway the (nudibranch?) looks all black except for a thin white stripe in the middle of its back and is about the size of a loonie. Shown here with the glass reflection creating a mirror image so you can see its top and underside. I am also assuming it's reef safe as I have no idea how long it's been in my tank or where is originated from.

Could be some kind of limpet.

They're great algae grazers and come in many different colors.

Looks like a keyhole Limpet. I have two in my tank and they eat lots of algae.
