Default It Moves - Very Slow

I noticed it awhile ago - at first I though it was just a hard coral or something but it moves. Only really on one rock but it moves and the other day I observed it expelling a white gel liquid so I am assuming it is some sort of animal. ANY IDEAS??? approximately inch or inch and a half - circled in blue

That is a Chiton which is a mollusk and harmless as far as I know. They graze on the algae much like any other snail.
