Looks like a sow bug

[Kens Bees]

It's currently on the edge of a large rock with mainly zoas. Today was the first time I've ever seen it. Sort of looks like a sow bug but without all the feet, and it's multi colored brown and tan. Not a fast mover by any stretch but definitely mobile.

What do you think?

Looks like a chiton

Definite chiton. An eight-shelled (jointed) snail. Herbivorous. Very pretty.

Good to or bad to have in a tank?

Thanks. I searched the interwebs a little after your reply and it seems like some people really like having them. It's definitely pretty.

They are good, an algae eating rock cleaner.

I just found these in my tank too. Thanks for making me aware of what they are
