Smooth shell, several have appeared over the year, hitchhiker from Keys live rock. They are starting to get some size to them:

Does look like it ,poss Zebra variety
how big, can you flip one on it's side so we can get a look at opening in shell from a couple of angles ?

Mostly 1/4" & smaller. I thought it was odd that they have a smooth shell. This one moved overnight & was the largest one. I pulled out a different one.

I'm not entirely sure on this one; I'm pretty confident it's a Trochoid snail, but that doesn't tell us much other than that it's probably an herbivore.

My best guess at this point would be an Agathistoma species like Agathistoma hotessierianum or A. viridulum, but I'm not sure (and these seem to vary quite a bit in color and even somewhat in shell shape).

Thanks for the help. I found one on the move:
