Looks like it could be a sundial snail to me, but I would wait for someone to confirm that

Nop. Its not sundial thats for sure. Sundials have their body at the side of the shell, this one has its body underneath. Confusing stuff

sundials also have a pointed trap door. Looks like a chestnut turbo to me.

That's a possibility. I did have a turbo before. Plus found it on the glass so that might show its not predatory.

I google it and it doesn't look like the snail in the picture.

That's also a possibility. Well the size right now is about pea size but I believe its a baby snail so will grow big.

Released it back to the tank
