Snail Identification

I have several snails that only come out at night and are on the rocks. My concern is that they are somewhat disk shaped and I was concerned they were sundial snails - but after looking it up on several sites I don't think they are. They are quite colorful, beautiful in fact so I don't want to get rid of them if they are ok for the tank. Here are a couple of phone pics, hope that helps. Note: this pictures are after lights out and the light you see is from the phone flash. Thank you for your help.

It looks sort of like a sundial snail, do a google search to confirm. If that is what it is they eat Zoanthids

How much deeper would the ocean be if it didn't have sponges?
