Keep it or kill it?

This guy came in on some corals I got. Looks like its carrying eggs (maybe). What is it, pest or keeper?

By the way its the size of a fingernail.

Looks like a coweri snail
Some say they are reef safe some say they are not...

 

[saltwaterinbrooklyn]

When in doubt, throw it out

Looks like a Calpurnus Verrucosus Cowry. If it is, it may eat leather/soft corals.

Looks like something to be put in a refugium.thats what I do what all the bad critters

I have to agree. Your refugium is a good spot for unwanted pests that don't necessarily do harm to your tank but can be fine to view in your fuge!
