It doesn't look like a sundial snail to me. Sundial snails are more pyramid shaped than cone shape. They also have a pyramid like hatch to cover themselves. Can you turn the snail over and take a picture from the other side?

If you go to Melev's site, he has a picture of one.

Maybe Collonista ?

I have had three of those and they seemed harmless enough. The first one I gave to my LFs cause I was nervous but i had found 2 since and they seem to be harmless.

It's not a collonista as they look like baby turbo snails. Melev's site has a picture of a collonista and Dr Ron had a nice article with pictures on them

Npirate seems to have the same thing.

From a lack of a covering hatch, I'd definitely say they are not sundial snails.

Best of luck,
