I have a cerith snail and hermit crab, firefish and yellow head sleeper, not sure where this guy came from or if I should leave him be.
Coral torch, hammer, candy cane, zoas, mushroom.

Any help appreciated if I should worry if this is a pest or not.

Thanks!

This is indeed a stomatella snail and one of the best algae eaters you often cant buy and is reef safe. You will see them go into hiding and lights on and reappear late evening

Awesome, looked it up and looks exactly like it. Wonder how it got in there but glad it's there now!

Thank you!
