Default Interesting snail, I think...

Does anyone know what this is and if it should stay in the nano reef? The picture is a bit tough, but the shell covers the front half. It can retract under the shell and can move like greased lightning.

I've got a few as well, although mine are clear. Are we talking about the same critter?
