Possibly a Collonista snail. They tend to look like baby Turbo snails.

What other snails do you have in the tank?
 
They can populate pretty rapidly so keep an eye on pumps and powerheads as there have been plenty of reports of them plugging them up.

They can be beneficial as well so it's not necessarily a "get it out and throw it away!" issue.
 
I should state, I had them in a 75 and in a 125 with 0 problems. I added a Halichoeres melanurus though and ended up with no more Collonistas.l eventually.
