At first glance, I would say a Stomatella varia. If so, they are great critters. They are eatin' and reproducin' machines but they never reproduce so much as to become a nuisance.

Agree with curt. Best algae eater for reef aquariums. They are free
you will occasionally see these guys reproduce all at the same time, it's very cool. All the snails will crawl out at in a 10 or 15 minute period and start shooting their stuff out into the water column.

Those things really are great, nasty, but great. They eat more algae than all my margaritas and astreas. I just noticed a whole bunch of baby ones in my tank tonight too!
