Snail ID Please...

I discoved a snail like thing in my tank last night...I cant take a pic as its hiding in a crack under one of my corals...if you make a circle with your index finger and thumb, thats about the size...its flattish not cone shape and its got a small, bright green fringe hanging out from under its shell...

any ideas...???

Maybe a stomatella, but mine don't have any green fringe thingy...
