ID of creepy looking snail

[lokikegs]

Found this in my tank, it would only come out when the lights went out. Looks like some type of snail/slug with a helmet on a portion of its body, very fast little guy. I was wondering if it was good or bad. thanks sean

Looks innocent to me.
But then again, it could be the root of all evil.

I noticed three of them earlier this month in my 30 gallon... Nocturnal creatures tend to weird me out, I can only imagine them hiding out during the day watching me watch the tank.
