I had three many years ago, they were called moon snails. I'll see if I can dig anything up on them, they did really well for a while in my 55 gallon, but I believe they prefered cooler temps or something.

Yeah, I took this off of a popular site. If you want more reading put the name Norrisia norrisii in your search browser.
The Red Foot Moon Snail, also known as the Red collar snail, is found in holes and crevices of the shoreline consuming algae. This snail require cooler temperatures of no more than 74 degrees in the home aquarium.
It will do well in an aquarium if provided with ample places to hide and large amounts of room in which to graze, preferably with live rock. The Red Foot Snail also grazes algae on the glass and is useful in keeping the algae under control in aquariums. Since these snail uses calcium to build its shell, adequate calcium levels must be maintained in the home aquarium. It is very sensitive to high levels of copper-based medications and prefers a low nitrate level.
It is extremely difficult to breed in an aquarium, and has no distinguishing characteristics to help differentiate it from its mate.
If insufficient algae is present, the diet should be supplemented with dried seaweed.
