Hi Tim
We have enough good photos of this interesting snail to give it an ID, so I have separated it from the others in that class. If you could spare the time to research it would be great to have a name for it.

Hi Michael,
When I've looked into these snails the best I've been able to come up with is:
Semi-slug, fam Helicarionidae. (Phylum Mollusca. Class Gastropoda. Order Stylommatophora. Superfamily Helicarionoidea. Family Helicarionidae. Genus Helicarion. Species Helicarion mastersi).
Not sure if this is correct, or helps.
Regards, Tim
