This guy has quadrupled in size since i set up my 50 gallon tank and i think i saw why this morning. He was sitting on top of my astrea snail like a hermit crab would if it was trying to get at its shell. I thought he might be a conch since i had a crap load of algae in the tank but this behavior would explain my dwindling snail population. He has since moved off of the astrea and we'll see if the astrea is still alive when the lights come on. He is strickly nocturnal and I rarely see him moving around during lighting hours. Sprungs invert book suggest its a tulip snail but his explaination and the picture are vague at best. Only thing i have going for me is the shape of the snail compared to mine, BUT mine is completely different colored..... Let me know snail experts.
