It was stuck on the tank. I had gone out to get something at the store and when I came back it was gone. I looked around the tank and I couldnt find it. About 5 min ago I found it on the back of the tank.
From this angle it looks like a pimple.

It looks alot like a Limpet. Judging by your "pimple" description, I would probably say it is a Keyhole Limpet.
