It is a pusiostoma species ;- Oceanpro Aquatics, Inc.: Bumble Bee Snail Tiny - Pusiostoma mendicaria
It says that they have been seen nibbling at zoas (button polyps) but not thought to be a pest, a nocturnal detrivour = good guy (mostly)

Not according to the three links i looked at.
Here you go 
:
"Though peaceful, keep in mind that the Bumble Bee Snail is a carnivore. If there is insufficient food, the Bumble Bee Snail may feed on other snails in your aquarium or indiscriminately consume polychaetes whether beneficial or the more troublesome bristleworm. In well-established systems, most Bumble Bee Snails do not require supplemental feeding. However, if sufficient food sources are unavailable, supplement their diet with offerings of meaty foods, including finely chopped brine or mysis shrimp and frozen meaty foods. "
