With so many endless spieces list I'm having trouble finding anything. It does have the shape of cerithiidae but I haven't found any that are that color and have a smooth shell. I would either when in doubt pull it out or keep an eye on them to see if you notice any damage to corals. I will tag @KJ and maybe he can figure it out. Sorry I'm no help on this one.

I pull them out of tank 6 or so a year...
Never bigger or smaller

Jist looked at a few hundred pics of cone snails...
Don't think so...
Never had any fish disappear or death.

Cones are highly venemous....
Guess I should stop grabbing them by hand
