Need a "slug" I.D.

Here is a picture of this odd slug that is in my tank. They have been in there a while and at first I thought they might be nassarius snail babies. But they have been present for many weeks and still have a soft shell if that is even a shell. They are small and there are a few of them. They are mainly white with black spots. They have a feeding tube like a nassarius and have a pad and foot like a snail but are soft like a slug. They have a soft shell like a nassarius only it is rounded. They seems to take food from the sand floor and go somewhere higher like the side of the glass or rock and eat. Here is a picture of one of them. Any idea what it is?
P.S.
That dot that is under the "slug" is a food pellet incase you wondered.

Thanks. I no idea what they are. I would get a better pic if I could but sadly that's as good as it gets. Just wish I knew what they were. Although I don't think they are harmful just wanna know.

Carefully remove it from your tank and put it in a very shallow container of a contrasting color or clear glass on paper of a contrasting color then taker your picture. That way you can adjust lighting as well as focus more easily.

Nope not a Stomatella. Stomatell don't have the "feeding" tube like this and they have a hard shell. Oh well I guess it really doesn't matter the thing isn't bad or anything I just wanted to know. Thanks.
