Hard to tell from the picture from below, but my guess is Limpets.

Limpets - Members of this family group(s) are largely
unknown as to their dietary needs. Some species can be omnivores and eat both
plant and animal matter while others can be strict herbivores or can develop a
taste for coral flesh. If you find these snails in your aquarium, it would be
wise to keep an eye on it to determine exactly what it is eating. Some are Reef
safe, others are not. It is quite possible that these snails can become
prolific breeders in our systems as they brood (keep) their eggs until fully
developed. Upon hatching, fully formed tiny limpets are able to crawl away,
avoiding any filtration or predators that their free floating snail cousins must
endure as larvae within our systems.
