Who can ID this snail?

I would take a picture but it is kind of small. I believe it is a hitchhicker and it is cone shape with a small orifice on the top. It is not the fastest snail I have seen but cleans the dead corals to the bone. It is very hard to remove from wherever it attaches.
I wouldn't mind having a dozen of them. I think they would do a great job.

color? lumps, smooth, ridges, size, ped color, shell color? anything else you can tell us.
did you look to the left at the U-build it button and look on there to see if you could find a pic of the snails?

I checked the U-Build It area and there is no pic of it. It is approximately 1/4" round, grayish in color with some darker lines running lengthwise. It is a basic cone and you cannot see a front or rear to it. It reminds me of the small barnicles you see attached to the rocks on the beach.
I wiil attempt to take a pic tomorrow.
