I have seen a few of these snails in my tank but they were too small to take a clear pic. Now one of them is big enough I was able to get a pic. Only snail that looks similar to this is a trochus snail, but I don’t think that is it. It seems like a turbo snail, but I have never had a turbo snail survive in my tank, because they always die within the first week. Last turbo attempt was about 2 months ago

Could be a Collonista snail. They look like miniature Turbos colored like Trochus.

They're a decent snail but some people have reported them multiplying and jamming pump impellers.

I had them in my 125. They definitely breed readily in our aquariums but mine were kept in check by my wrases.
