Can this snail stay in my tank?

I found this snail, pictured below last evening while i was playing with my tank, its the first time I have seen it ever and the tank has been set up since May. It was on a peice of rock when i grabed it. The short way it looks like it is a tad bigger then 1/8 inch and the long way looks like 3/16 inch. The color is light brown and off white. As always the question is what type is it, and can it coexist in my tank, with out messing any thing up?

That -looks- like a virgin nerite. But, I can't be positive. Do a search for pictures of virgin nerite snails, and see if that's the same kind. After alll , you can see it in person, it'll make it a little easier to ID.

Thanks for the lead, but that is not it, the virgin nerite has a "latticed color patern" this snail has more straight color lines, Any other leads?
