What you may or may not know about the bubble snails, or at least the prettiest ones, is that they have very short life cycles, often on the order of a few months. Many of them eat only one or a few species of worms that they find in the sand or mud, and you probably can't provide them in your reef tank. There are a few tiny to small species that feed on algae or cyano, but you'd have to have a magnifying glass to see them, so they really wouldn't be all that amazing in your tank. If you haven't read up on them yet, you should probably do that before you start looking to stock your tank with them. The Sea Slug Forum is a good place to start.
Pull up the species pages on Acteoniidae (some of the longer-lived shelled opisthobranchs), Bullinidae, Hydatinidae, Haminoeidae, and Bullidae, and read up on their natural history. It might help you make a better choice if you decide to keep any of the "bubble shells" in your tank.
