Snail ID

I've been loosing some of my snails. I found one i thought was responsible but I saw this one tonight. Is it anything to worry about?

That one looks like a Cowrie with its mantle wrapped up around the shell.

Cowries can eat coral so it's a possibility.

Thanks. When it shows up again it's going in the sump.

Most likely the Coffeebean Trivia, Pusula pediculus - it's thought to be carnivorous, probably on things like colonial tunicates, possibly sponges and/or soft corals, etc.

That's what it is. I pulled it out last night and had a good look at it. Thanks for the ID. It's living in the sump now with the other misfits.
