Help on ID for this critter

It looks like a rolly-poly bug you would find outside. Its white and under the coral branch. Here is the best pic I could get.

Would need a much closer view of the critter, but maybe a chiton?

These are about the best I can do. I googled a chilton, and it actually looks like that. Are they good/bad?

Looks like chiton. Good = algae eaters.

Awesome! I've never seen these before. Do they reproduce asexually or sexually? I only see one, but that doesn't mean there aren't more.

Sexually.....the only fun way.
