It is a Chiton. It is noturnal and only eats macro alge and is NOT carnivorious. It is very sensitive to lights and hence only comes out in the dark. Usually found as a hitchhiker in tonga rock

It does look quite a bit like a chiton. Give it a poke and a pry, see if it is hard and difficult to get off the rock (don't try too hard, you don't want to tear it). They're a type of plated mollusc. As noted, most species are herbivores, although a few are carnivorous.

They are light-sensitive. Apparently they have several thousand tiny light-sensitive points on the outside of their shells. Why this would be I didn't bother to check.
