I had a whelk- it ate a lot of my little snails, but none of the turbos, which is incidentally where I got it.(Infiltrating a batch of turbos) I kept it in my mantis tank (too tough for my N. curacaoensis to crack) for over a year until it finally died a few weeks ago....It ate snails I put in there for it and the mantis. The whelks have a 'snorkel' sticking out of one end of their shells- there's a shell formation around it that makes it different from the turbos. Hope this helps in IDing it- I had trouble finding anything about them online other than recipes....LOL
I also had a Hippo tang that got the idea of carrying my gold maxima around the tank....and I have a Coral Beauty that nips clams, but doesn't really bite them- just nibbles them lightly. Watch 'em all !!
