Snail ID please

[Luigi]

Can anyone tell me the name of this snail? He's like 2 inches big and works hard cleaning my tank!!

I have a few very large ones (size of baseballs) in my main tank, the LFS I bought them labeled them as zebra snails, if that is wrong, someone please correct me.

Yes, it's Cittarium pica, a member of the Trochus family (Trochidae). As you pointed out, they are algae eaters, and grow to be fairly large.
