What kind of snail is this?

[rostato]

I found this guy 2 weeks ago at night in my nano, and have been trying to find him during the day ever since. So, I found it on the heater today, and snatched it up so it could not escape for pics. Now, since then it has doubled in size:confused2:

It is weird looking!, no shell, and it is in the tank with 4 crabs that have yet to kill it, so that's a little disturbing too. It looks like a big, shell less nassarius snail to me. What the hell is it? Good? Bad?

I have a vid two uploading of how fast it is if needed.

Ok, so its not going to kill anything? It is so fast and ugly I thought it may be bad. I wonder how it got in that tank. I haven't touched it in months.

Stomatella. I dont know much about them, but I have a small one that I swear mows down the algae at night on my back glass. Any yeah they are fast as heck. Good racing snails.
