Nope, doesn't look like a sundial. The shell is identical in shape to a bumblebee snail

zoanthids are notorious for doing this without any reason. They can do it if the alkalinity swing too much, the ORP swing too much, etc...

I once put Kent "iron and magnaneese" in my tank with the recommanded dosage and some of my zoanthids instantly shriveled and they died in a day or two after that.

So no more dosing for me, except by the drop to make sure things are in normal quantity.

I dose vitamine C for many months now and it does help to reduce those melting episode.

Checkered shell sure does sound like a sundial snail and they do eat zoanthids.

Could possibly be a eucinid worm, never saw it until I ripped down the tank but he ate Zoas and rics.

Its definatly not a sundial because it looks nothing like that, and the zoas didn't shrivel it was in 2-3 hours they dissapeared. The snail has a similar pattern to the sundial shell but looks like a bumblebee snail. I'm starting to think it was the pods though because they have been bugging my peanut butter zoas as well. Tonight ill snap a pic of the snail and see if someone can I d it. If I can find it.
