HI all, I just got some turbo snails and while acclimating them this pest cam out, I'm going to trash it but is this something that is good or bad and what is it ?

Looks like a stomatella snail. If so, it's a good guy.

Looks like stomatella in one respect which is an excellent algae eater but also characteristic of mollusk
Can you take a side shot of it?

That sure looks like a stomatella snail to me. I've only heard good things about them as ideal clean-up crew members.
