Macroalgae Eating thingie!

I have been fighting this macroalgae since my tank basically cycled:



I found this little fella:



Here is a very poor video of him eating the stuff! I believe he/she is some sort of cowry or abalone?




Can't seem to get the embedding working, here is the link:

Just thought I'd share incase anyone else was looking for something to eat macroalgae.

cheers

Very cool! The picture does look like a abalone. I had a small one as a hitchhiker in an old tank of mine.
