It certainly looks like a vermetid snail. Could it possibly either be coiled and hence appear less tubular and more disc-like? Or perhaps its tube is in fact in the rock?

By the way, those are not tentacles as such but rather a gooey web the snail creates, like a spider's web in a sense I suppose.

I had two of the tubular type and was disappointed when one died during a mini-crash. Someone in Calgary has the other, I have no idea who though.
