Snail identity

What kind of snail is this

Tried to take a better photo, but the critter is 1/16" big and my camera isn't up for the job.

Nobody?...anybody?....

Can't ID it to the species level for you, but it's either a turbinid or trochid (and some people place them in the same family). The long appendages are more common in trochids, so that's my guess. It's an algae grazer in either case.

Cheers,

Thanks Don,

Atleast now I know that I don't have to catch them out of my tank.
