Noticed this little guy climbing on hob skimmer in my 20 gal, any idea what it is. Sorry for the bad picture. It’s built very much like a nassarius snail but has two feelers instead of one

It's barely visible as a picture, brighter, whiter light will help ID attempts, but from the blob and the description - maybe a stomatella snail? Or is the shell external?

It’s probably a stomatella snail. Here’s another picture, it’s in a tough spot to photograph.

To my eyes, it does look like there's sort of a shell lump but the flesh extends over it, between that and the antennae, I think stomatella is a fairly safe bet.
