stomatella snail.....I think.....

Anyone else want to take a stab at ID'ing this? I have a few of these that show up on my glass from time to time. I *think* it's a species of Stomatella, but I'm not sure - the shell looks a little too curved on some of them. Like a miniature moon snail shell almost. I know it's not a pyramid snail, but I'd still like a little more confirmation on it. If I can get one off the glass I'll try for a "top down" picture of it tonight.
Oh, the second picture is just a decent shot of a common aquarium copepod. The entire animal is less than .1mm long - I was pretty happy with this shot!

It looks like a Stomatella to me...does it have a "fingernail" shaped shell just behind its head?
