Euplica scripta; good snail:

Yeah, this is probably the Dotted/Lettered Dove Snail, Euplica scripta - it's a keeper if so:

Look up Euplica scripta (it has a lot of color variations, so look at a bunch of different images to compare with) and see if that seems to be a match.

Interesting, and I stand corrected here - Euplica scripta is apparently primarily a sea grass-epiphytic algae-eater;* so it feeds primarily on algae that grows on sea grass; interestingly, this makes them (and a few other common Columbellids) quite different dietarily than the vast majority of their relatives.**

Cool!
