Limpet good or bad?

Are these keyhole limpets?

Not sure about keyhole (I think yes) but I'm pretty sure all limpets are harmless grazers

Yep, keyhole limpets! They're the good guy's and you're lucky to have them.

Not sure if you have any tunicates in your tank but they devour them. I know from first hand experience they can wipe a rock clean of tunicates in a day
