What is this?

This morning before work I had a peak at the tank with my phone torch, and I noticed this snail like creature cruising around. I have 3 nassarius snails but noticed a few weeks ago that one has disappeared, surely this isn't the missing one minus its shell? Then I was thinking maybe it's a stomatella snail, and if so how did it get into the tank?
Anyway ideas, thoughts?
I don't know how to upload a video so I took a screenshot.

That picture sucks and I can't make out what you are talking about..
But it can certainly be a stomatella snail based on your description.
They can easily hitchhike in on rock or corals
 
Yeah sorry the pic ain't the best, it's better viewed on a phone than computer. I had to take a screenshot in the video, maybe this pic is better. Either way I think your right, maybe I should be dipping corals before putting them in my tank..

Why? To miss out on all the fun stuff that shows up in our tanks we don't intentionally put into there?
Without that this hobby is BORING..

As stated is a harmelss (and useful algae grazer) and your tank is better because its there.
