Its a sundial snail, its a zoa predator, dont put it back in your tank if you have any zoanthids, for a better id look up sundial snails and compare them really good, good luck

This isn't a sundial snail. It's Collonista, which is a harmless grazer.
The slug is your problem.

This is the sundial you need to worry about. Melevs site has a nice id chart that will show lots of the common things you may find..

I have thousands of those snails in my tank, lots of zoanthids, and no problems. Greenbean is correct here.
