It is a Nassarius Snail. Very helpfull in keeping your sand stirred. I have a few in my tank. I love how they pop out of the sand when I feed my fish, looking for leftovers.
Nassarius Snail - Nassarius sp.
sweet thanks, i also found out they can do backflips if you take them out of the water to take a picture

lol, yeah ive have a few that climb up the glass and then fall straight to the bottom once they hit the top of the water. Once on the bottom they will do the flippy thing to right themselves. I had one that did it over and over again ( climbing up the glass, only to fall--or "jump" back down) did it for a few days.
More specifically, it's a Tonga nassarius. It's bigger than the standard nassarius snails that you usually see so it's an even better scavenger. Make sure you feed meaty foods like mysis shrimp so it can feed on leftovers.
