I found this thing while cleaning my aquarium today. It's hard to the touch and almost impossible to pry off

Nah, you got a chiton! Lucky you!

 

It's an herbivorous mollusc; eats about the same stuff as an abalone.

Looks like a chiton to me. Harmless grazing mollusc.

Cool thanks!

 

I think I got one of those when I just got the first cleanup crew, he was around 1/2 an in he then and didn't have any interesting colors. He must be at least 1.5-2 inches now.

 

Too bad he hangs out in a part that is not visible from the front

...and, yes, they're practically impossible to pry off. You'd probably seriously injure it (and possibly yourself) in the process.
