Friend or Foe - snail ID

[choss]

I found this small orange snail in my tank this morning. He would have originated from some live rock that was acquired through gulf reef live rock. Thanks as always for your help!

It looks like some kind of turban snail.

So friendly?

Resemble Heliacus sp.

Flip it over...does it have a cone shaped operculum...trap door...if so remove.

would that make it a sundail snail? For now I placed the snail in my 10 gallon Mantis shrimp tank. There are no zoas in there.

 

[reef lover]

Yes it would...

If the little guy resurfaces in the mantis tank I will grab him for a flip over to make a final ID. I will post if the opportunity presents itself. Of course he may become Mantis bait although my Mantis has never touched the other snails in the tank.
