Weird looking Stomatella

I asked in the newbie forum and some people agreed that that is what it looked like. However even after looking again, I can't find any pics that look similar. Anyone have any info on what kind of species this might be? P.S. It's at the top of the pic, facing <------

It's hard to be sure from the pic, but...I think it probably IS a Stomatella. I blew up your pic and worked to clarify it, and the long antennae are plainly visible. Several snails have long antennae, but some of the most common ones found by aquarists are Stomatellas. It also looks like I can see the spire of the shell (see the circle right in the middle of the animal?) and the proportions are about right for that species. It does look like the animal may have a long skinny tail, though, and Stomatellas don't have long skinny tails. That's about all I can give you as far as an ID guess. Of course, you could catch it and take pics of it in a dish of water, and I could give you a definite ID on it.

Cheers,

I will get some better pictures today as I am quite curious about him. Thanks for your help! P.s. Since the original post I have found another smaller specimen in the tank.
