I have no photo but it loves my zoos. It was a zoo hitchhiker. It is small and black and white checkered like a chess board.

Remove it from your tank; it's predatory!

Ninong, these are different than the predatory snails that attack clams right?

Yes. You're thinking of Pyramidellids. They're the ones that prey on clams.
