Does this creature puff out small clouds? I had something similar looking. Mine acted like a Sea Squirt, but didn’t look like them.

I only have a video, and my phone can’t SS, and I can’t post the video for some reason. If you want to see it PM me your phone number or email and I’ll send it over
 
No puffs of anything but it seems to be eating algae growing on scraper, moves fast when disturbed.
 
Almost looks like a stomatella snail. Can you get any better pics?

Stomatellas, typically look like a snail with a thumbnail for a shell. They don't actually crawl into their shells like a normal snail.

Difficult to get better photos, does have a hard shell like a thumb nail.

Definitely a stomatella snail. You can normally see their unusually long eye stalks though. Just google image it, and see if they match.

One of the best free hitchhiker CUC you will find.
 
Okay thanks for that, it does a good job cleaning the scraper so I didn’t want to pull it out so fast...thanks again.
 
They are hardy, and breed like rabbit's. If you have one, you may have more, or soon will.

Probably one of the best little snails you'll find.
