I've seen them from time to time but they haven't seemed to be bothering any of my corals or anything. It looks like they are eating algae off my liverock, etc. I think it might be a snail of some sort as it has a pod like they do and moves like they do but it looks like a pill bug. Sorry for the bad pic, phone. Also, I have multiple kinds of snails and they all lay eggs all the time, will they ever stop? I have white specks over everything that I have to scrape off the glass.

I'm not sure from the pic. Is it right up against the zoas? It sounds like stometella snails. Google it. If it is that, they're great clean up crew members and will breed.
