Seems to be a Volvarina species of some variety, though I'm not super familiar with them. I can't find any info on their diets, but based on their radula (basically their teeth), they're thought to eat small bivalves (tiny clams, oysters, mussels, scallops, etc.).*

After looking at pics, I think you are right. According to chat GPT, it is a good CUC member that eats detritus and left over food.

Thanks!

These snails are super rare in our tanks, so if you notice any problems from it, let us know!
