Can anyone id this please. The grey part on the left side is sucking onto the rock. The top is a shell. The right side has 2 antennae. It doesn’t swim or walk. It just sucks on to the rock to move.

The green on the right is the shell and head. The grey blob on the left seems to stay sucked to the rock.
Looks like it's probably a stomatella snail (as mentioned above) with algae on the shell.
