Does this look like a stomatella Snail? If not any other ideas? I tried getting a better pic but it's really small.

Can't see it very well in the pic. Get a shot of it underwater in brighter light, preferably in a clear container. Could be a large stomatella with algae on the shell, or possibly an elephant slug.
 
I figured that might be the case but I didn't have the foresight to save it in a jar or whatever so I threw it out just to be safe. if I find another I'll be sure to hang on to it.
 
Based on the first picture I was thinking a chiton of some sort. I've seen some tiny one's in one of my tanks that I don't know where they came from. But picture #2 seems to show a small hole in the shell that indicates limpet of some sort. I have plenty of limpets in my systems, they just show up, but they're usually super white. If it's hard shell that come to a point it's probably a limpet.

You know what? I'm not going to be wishy-washy - it's a limpet!
