ID Snail

[pmpier]

This snail came out after I turned the lights off. It's a fast mover and I'm worried that it may be some type of poisonous Conus snail.

Look at this maybe?

Maybe a whelk? they tend to come out at night, oh ya and they eat snails!! watch it for awhile to see if its a problem or not.

the whelk I had had a shell similar to a certh but it had the nose tube thing like a nass.

Thanks, I will keep an eye on it.

looks like a nassarius sp. to me. If it is, its harmless.

he probably hides in the sand and only comes out to eat.

[pmpier]

Yes, it hides in the sand when the lights are turned on.

I think it's safe to put my hand in the tank.

Does it come out when you add some food to the tank even with the lights on?
I would 2nd kiowa on it being nassarius, thats how mine look.
