Looks like a Malaysian trumpet snail. Know to its friends as mts. Don't over feed and you should be fine they are great for keeping the substrate aerated.
 
Thanks, i dont even have any fish yet!!!! Just finishing my first cycle. I definitely have a pond snail overrun as well. I fear there might be hundreds of those now
