Could you roll it over and take a pic so we can see the opening in the shell?

Looks like a pyramidellid Snail to me.

If you google and search and determine it is a pyramidellid....I would smash it.

Then start combing your tank for more. They usually are in numbers.

This is one of the worst enimies for the giant clams!

My ID is not absolute 100%. Imo It really looks like one. I thought if you did some googling maybe that would give a good direction to look in. Id PM Coral Geek for a positive ID. Hes pretty good at this ID thing even though he doesnt post here much.
