snail ID

[rljlll]

I found this little guy next to a colony of zoas he is about the size of a BB and is white/cream w/brown lines from the cone downwards. The lines are a little wavy.

Sounds like a collonista. But look up pics of Sundial snails just to be sure.
If it is a collonista, they stay little and I have about 40 billion of them in my tank. Harmless grazers. If it is a sundial, it will eat the zoos.

Here's a better pic of what the collonista's shell looks like (the one's I have are super tiny, these shells look large):

Am I just not seeing the pic or is there not one? From description alone it sounds like a sundial snail and they are zoanthid eaters.
