Maybe a vermetid snail? Does it have a hard, calcareous tube?
It appears to. There is one above and below the lepto

They certainly look like vermetid snails. From what I have read, these are usually considered bad when they are next to corals, since they feed with a mucous net that irritates nearby corals. Cover the end of the tube with putty or glue or crush and scrape off to remove them.
