I am no expert, by any stretch of imagination, but if I would to guess this snail to a family I would probably say it belongs to a family Marginellidae.
You can read about this family of Gastropods and description of the shells here.

It is a marginellid, and is probably Prunum apicinum:

what would it eat? good snail or bad snail? thanks

It's a predator, and will eat other small animals. I'm not sure how objectionable they would be in the long term, but in the short term you probably won't notice them doing much damage.
