Looks like a ramshorn to me. Some people consider them pests. I personally like them, especially the pink ones. I have quite a few and they don't usually eat my plants.
But just one will reproduce.

What kind of snail is this?
I just noticed a snail (I think?) in my tank. There is nothing in my fishless cycling tank so I'm guessing it came from one of the plants I bought. Can someone tell me what kind of snail this is and if it's a hermaphrodite? I guess I wouldn't mind 1 snail but I don't really like them and the thought of many of these things grosses me out.. Thanks
Btw it's a little transparent looking, and for reference it's very small ~0.5 cms across

Does this look like it?

if so it is a miniature ramshorn snail. the shell doesn't do a 90 degree angle but more leans against the surface the body of the snail is on.
ok.. i guess i'll have to live with them. on the bright side I just started getting my first runners ever so I'm pretty stoked about that! injecting co2 makes a world of difference
