Not confident on many of these shells especially surf clams. If someone knows a good online guide that explains differences between similar ones, that would be awesome.
found some under a kina, so looked in the next kina's spine to be sure they were associated with kina and sure enough there was one crawling in the spines.

Mid to low intertidal, under a rock resting on the reef.
Found with a lot of Isocladus, which are most likely I. armatus. (The observation for the Isocladus sp. : https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/144966325)
Thanks to @william1996 for the help with identification.
Body lendth approx. 3-5 mm.
Mid intertidal (Whau river is brackish), under a piece of basalt near the bank sitting on mud among Manawa mangroves.
Possibly juvenile of Sphaeroma quoianum?
