Unknown snail

I have this snail in my 12g nano and I'm not sure how it got there. I wanted to see if any could ID it for me. If it's cool, then I'll put it in my new tank, if not, then it will go in the sump.

I have not seen it bother anything in the 12g, but then again, it might have a taste for SPS and not zoas.

Thanks Scott. I assume that he hitchhiked on a rock or something. I don't think that he's bothered anything since I've had him. And that must have been a few months now.
 
Looks like Nerites?

Here is what I was thinking its close to..

I too have one that is almost blue, and I only see him at night when I use a flashlight. It has always been a good grazer. It doesn't resemble the nerite closely enough though.
