Something so small...

...causing me so much grief!
I found the reason for my new zoo colony's shrinkage... the beautiful but deadly, (at least to zoos!) 'Box Snail' (Heliacus species).
Yeah sure, he looks cute and tiny beside my thumb, but if you were the size of my tiny zooanthids he'd be your version of godzilla!

I've been pulling alot of little snails out of my tank that look like that but....the ones I have are have a black body/head and the shells are a smoke color with blackish strips could it be the same species?

I'm not sure if yours is the same or not. I am quite sure that this is the 'Box Snail'... as it had the characteristic pointed 'head', simply a white cone devoid of any features, that comes to a point.
