It's hard to tell from your pic. Google Stomatella and see if that is what it looks like.

Looks like a elephant snail.
I believe they are reef safe.

That's a scutus aka elephant snail. Some people have reported that they eat soft corals and zoas. Mine just knocked everything over.

I've had one in my tank before and all it did was eat algae. I haven't heard of it eating corals and if there are any reports of it doing so, my first guess would be incorrect identification (but you never know, so read up on them and keep an eye out for problems). In fact, there is a guy selling some on my local forum right now and they are being bought up pretty quick.

The Sea Slug Forum - Elephant Slug, Shield Slug, Ducksbill Limpet (Scutus sp.)

Scutus scutus, aka elephant snail. Algae eater. I have them in every one of my tanks, they are nocturnal, and clean the algae off the rocks. Reef safe in my experience.
