ID on snail

[2farNorth]

Caught this cruizin' around my QT tank today. Just looking for a possible ID. I tried looking through books and such, but the color throws me off....
It's fairly small, roughly 5.5 - 6 mm

another shot closer up

It's a juvenile cerith, Clypeomorus batillariaeformis. The species isn't as variable as this link shows, since there are several species shown under this name, but you can see the ones that look like yours:

Wow, Never woulda caught that one!! I just see the Cerith snails I have in my tanks, they are just grayish, dull colours... must be because they are old, or adults......
Thanks for the quick reply!!
