i bought some live rock at cap bay about 5 weeks ago and it has been in qt since. i've seen no pests on the rock other than this snail. to me it looks like a baby turbo snail but i wanted to see what everyone else thought.

Looks like Stomatella sp to me, but I'm pretty new at this. Here is a picture of one from my tank. Does it look similiar?

So help the dumb new guy here, please. What looks to me like a dark blob right in the center of the picture is an astrea?
 
I don't think that's an astrea snail shell. It's looks more like some type of turbo snail to me. Can you get a better shot of the snail? Maybe one with it on the sand or out of the tank.
 
Ok, after looking at the picture of the turbo Bryan posted now I see the back of the shell sticking out to the left. Its funny how your eyes, or maybe just mine, can trick ya.
