That is not a pond snail, and will not do much damage to the plants. They do become unsightly, and reproduce fast though.

Very common hitch hiker with plants. Nothing major to worry about, other then they get ugly when they are in groups of 100 or more.

What kind of lighting are you utilizing on a tank that tall?
