Snail ID~ the picture is in my gallery...

I added the picture of this snail to my Photo Gallery. He has a small almost flat shell and body is a yellow color.

I rarely see this guy in fact I have had the tank running for 4 years now and just in the past few months he showed up. I guess he sticks to the cracks and night.

I notice him because he will perch himself on a rock and puff a liquid out of a tube by his left eye. It looks like underwater smoke. the picture is just after the smoke. After he is done he disappears.

Any ideas? and what is the liquid smoke..
