Snail ID

I'm just curious if anyone has an ID for the snail in the below picture...
I tried to highlight it in Ps, but b/c it was in the back of the tank, I couldn't get a good pic w/ my phone.

It's mouth "arm" is striped black and white, and reminds me of a fighting conch's. I didn't see any antenna. It's shell is only about 1/2in. Can move moderately fast.

It is originally bigger, but it gets really grainy (stupid cell phone). I'll try and get a better pic
 
Even if you make it bigger, it's going to be almost impossible to ID from the view of the encrusted dorsum. Your best bet is to take it out of the tank and photograph it in a dish of water from the apertural side. It probably belongs to one of half a dozen or so families, but I'd rather try to give you an accurate ID instead of a guess.

Cheers,



Don
