Default Limpet ID

I know that some of these guys can be very bad. So far I almost never see them in the display, but they've definitely taken over my sump. They're even colonizing the inside of my protein skimmer. I don't think they're keyhole limpets, but that's where my knowledge of limpets ends

I've had the same for several years with no issues. I don't have an ID unfortunately.

well at least it sounds like they're not harmful to the tank. Though my fingers certainly don't appreciate them when I'm cleaning the skimmer collection cup.

I will let them peacefully be...
