Crazy half snail/ anteater?? (pic)

Ok so not an anteater but it has a vacuum like snout and a small lil shell. He even has eyes. What is this? A pest? Should I pull him out? I already saw 2 of them in my tank.

its a stomatella snail. its a beneficial algae eater so leave him in there!

yup, his shell doesnt look like a nass and the anteater part is just his snout/mouth my astreas have the same thing. the nass snails send out their proboscis thing that goes more up into the water.
