ID Snail please

[shibumi]

I found this last time I added some nassarius snails to my tank. It ran out and attacked one of them. I think it attacked .... I couldn't catch him that time but I did this morning.

Does anybody know what kind of snail is this?





This one is when I thought it was attacking the other snail.



Please ID. Thanks

I found this on Wet Web Media's site. It may be what they describe as a tulip snail.

It is a Fasciolaria species, Tulip snail. Yes, they're carnivores and more info can be found here .

Sure does look like a tulip snail - though a tiny guy at that..

That is why my snails have been disappearing. What should I do with it? Kill it? I cant kill anything ....
