"It's a pelagic snail in the family Carinariidae. There's at least one IP species that has brown pigment along the tail - Carinaria cristata - so it may be that. Pelagic snails are pretty fantastic. Shells are reduced or even absent while bodies are translucent to completely transparent. Usually the only parts visible are the eyes, mouth parts, and stomach areas. They're voracious predators of other pelagic critters such as salps, chaetognaths, and other snails."
