It's a little blurry, but looks like a nudibranch. Have you recently added a coral to your tank? They usually come in as hitchhikers.

Its likely just a Stomatella. If it is flat-ish, has a little "finger nail" type shell (which can be difficult to see), moves around rather quickly, has two longish front antenna, and a fleshy body, do a search for these reef safe herbivore snails. I think I spelled that correctly -- Its been a long week. :frog:

Hard to say, since the camera focused on the coral rather than the animal, but I'm pretty sure it's an aeolid nudibranch. If you're looking at a Stomatella, it won't normally have the color ring like that, and looking from the bottom, the proportion of the animal in contact with the glass is a lot higher than what I THINK is the foot in the pic above.

Cheers,
