Sounds like possibly a nudibranch, or a stomatella snail. Stomatellas are common hitchikers on LR, they have shells, it's just very small and difficult to see at times. FWIW, if one of your snails had left it's shell, it would be dead, the shell is a part of the snail and grows with them.

Nudis are probably bad, if they are hitchikers, the stomatellas are bar none the best snails you can have for a reef, IMO.
