I don’t have an identification for this particular snail, but I do have a link to a reef hitchhiker identification guide that might help.

Some reef tank hitchhikers are good, while others are bad or neither. Here is a reef tank hitchhiker ID list for the most common hitchhikers.

Looks very similar to a whelk snail I removed from my tank after I saw it eating a bumble bee snail. Prior to being caught in the act, I found to empty bumble bee shells.
