Looks like a whelk. Bad guy, if it is. Got a pic of the underside?
 
That could just be a coincidence but the patterning on the skin and the shape of the shell say "whelk" to me but I don't want to condemn a helpless snail in the wrong place at the wrong time :)
 
^^^A+ Whelk.
 
I'm no expert at all but I have a few that look similar, the little periscope from under the sand, they come out like crazy when I feed my anemones
 
Would you be able to get a picture of the full shell? It would be fantastic if you could freeze it, remove the snail meat and take a picture without him in there, but I know that's a lot to task for O.O
