Snail ID Quick!!!

Can anyone ID this snail? Good or bad? I would prefer quickly if possible as I can catch him easily at the moment.

how about a cerith sp? Not 100% on the ID but that's what I'd call it if it were in my tank, then I'd put it in the fuge to be extra careful

yep, looks more like a cerith to me but...i followed your advice and put it in the minifuge
