Snail ID with pics

I woke up for school today and saw this snail for the first time. Havent added any live rock since last year. Seems safe... but everything *seems* safe until something goes missing

Does he have a pattern on his shell? Looks like a cowrie type snail. Either cyprea or cyphoma. The cyphoma's eat gorgonians and the cowries are big and small and eat algae.

Can you get a better pic? From your first pic I'd say it's a Stomatella. Very good to have. But we need a better pic to be able to tell for sure.
