Yep, what you have there is the shell from a rock boring mollusk. Harmless as alive and even more harmless now. Genus is likely Pholalidae and they are an interesting group of critters if you feel like reading into them a bit more.

It won't hurt you though Good little site to bookmark/browse for your enjoyment.. https://www.lionfishlair.com/hitchhikers-guide/ It covers many of the common creatures we can find in our tanks..
