Default Need Id Asap
I had a hitchhiker snail that I haven't been able to figure out what it is... I just saw it again and it has tripled in size! I snagged him out of the tank and got some decent pics. I really don't want to put him back in until I can get a good id on him, any help is appreciated! Some pics are attached below.

He is one half or less shell, the other half or more is his foot. His is a dark color, almost looks like a freshwater snail you would see randomly in a pond or something. No "seashell" looking shell, just plain. Maybe 3/4"??

Took 2 more pics before I tossed him back in. He hasn't shown any aggressive nature, I will definately keep an eye on him. Man and I wonder why people still want to throw live rock into their tank...

If it has a flat hard shell on the top like a fingernail I would say its an Abalone.

Harmless.
