I love this snail and would love to get a few more, but I can't find anything like it when I look online. Can anyone identify it for me. The shell is very smooth, white with the brown blotches. Only comes out when I feed the tank.

Thank you in advance.

It looks like a type of Nassarius snail. Depending on where you look it might be called a leopard or tiger or super tongan. Also check out Babylonian Whelk
 
Looks a lot like those Babylonian "Nassarius" people sell, I personally hate them as they consume other snails and clams as their main diet.
Its been a model citizen as far as I can tell. I still have a booming snail population. I think I will just consider myself fortunate and not get anymore of them.
