I have noticed this snail pop up in my tank about a week ago, It looks quite pretty but I don’t know what it is, could someone ID it?
The inverts I currently have in the tank are: Randall’s pistol shrimp, cleaner shrimp, 1 trochus snail, 1 nassarius snail, 1 strawberry conch
-it’s grown quite fast

Looks like a Dove shell. Stays about half an inch and usually on glass or rocks. They breed readily and are good cuc.

Nassarius will burrow in the sand and come out quickly for meaty foods. The dove shell snails are out all day and night on surfaces.
 
That’s great, thanks so much guys.
And yea he is always out on the glass at the front!
