I found this snail on my squamosa, it was cruising on the exterior of the shell.
Anyone have any idea what kind of snail it is? I know its hard to tell. I am mostly concerned about it being snail eater.

The next two are larger images showing the snail compared to a penny for size reference.

pics didn't work for me but it sounds like a predatory clam snail. Not sure of their name. THey look like a grain of rice. They should be removed. The clams will be killed or stressed so much eventually that they won't open (and die).
