Chris, if you can possibly take a magnifying glass and look really closely at the shell, see if you can find any pyramid snails. They munch on snails as their primary food source. The pyramids are really tiny.

Pictures below should help

The Trigger is also my first guess though.

Hope this helps,
Russ

In you q/t i see a small starfish clinging to the glass, i would remove them from the q/t and if you see any in the main tank..please take the time out to remove them too - my personal experience those starfish ate my zoa and palys.
