Hard to tell from the picture. Is it on the live rock and that is the top or is it on the glass and that is the bottom?
Chiton maybe.

Re: what is this ?

What did it feel like? Did it have a hard shell or was it soft to the touch?

The orange color is throwing me off but the shape looks to be a stomatella snail, limpet snail, chiton, or maybe a flatworm...

Can you remove it to get a better pic/description?

Re: what is this ?

I'd almost definitely say a chiton, looks like it has shell ribbing, but the angle makes it a bit tough.
