i think its a stomatella, they are known for eating algae, and i know when they get attacked they drop a part of their body like a lizard does with its tail.
 
not harmfull as far as i know..i see them all the time when im cleaning front of tanks up at the store. i have them here at home also i never bother them, so far they have not bothered me.
 
I've got about 10 of those little guys in my fuge. They rode in on a ball of chaeto. Good for eating algae and detritus.
 
Yea they are really cool snails. They are the fastest snail I've seen. If it's up near the surface on your glass, and the lights flip on, it's off to the races.

My favorite thing about them though is when they spawn in your tank they all climb to the highest point of the rock they are on, and start shooting eggs and sperm all over the place. It's so cool to see. They all do this simultaneously.
