I'm not sure of the species but it's a pelagic snail. They spend their entire lives swimming which is made possible by the development of a swimming fin and reduction in the size & weight of the shell. If this had been found off California I would call it Carinaria cristata. You can try to figure out the species using the character table on this page:

Very cool picture.
I'm sure Leslie is right, but to me it looks more like some kind of giant space monster....

Yes I call the shot 'Starship Critter'.
