For some reason I am thinking this is a type of ramshorn snail.... It almost looks like it by the pictures. It almost looks like this one by looking at the picture http://fishkeeper.co.uk/assets/php/t...png&w=450&zc=1. But I don't think they normally harm plants.

Google a Colombian giant ramshorn snail. You could identify it better since you can just look in the tank at it. Lol or you could get better pictures and I could help you try to identify it.

Mystery snails can store sperm for a few months if they had bred once before.

It is definitely a mystery, I have 3 of these colored ones myself, it's their wild coloration.
If I lived closer I'd take him

Now that I see a CGR that could be it, I just figured we weren't seeing the side of him that had the part poking out.
I thought the seller posted that he had not bred though.

That's what's got me thinking. It seems like it would have bred.
