What you are seeing is probably a Stomatella snail, which looks very much like a miniature abalone, and a frequent hitchhiker in on live rock (a totally beneficial hitchhiker, and they will reproduce in our tanks. They are, however, easy pickings for a lot of other things, like fish and in particular shrimp and/or crabs).
