Snail ID

Fish Dad I'm pretty sure that is NOT a bumble bee snail in your pic. However I am sure it's a type of Nassarius snail as I also have several of those, just like the ones in your pic.

nassarius snails no worry.

Have found several more - actually match the description and characteristics of Whelks I have found looking throughout the web. These snails are more concealed in the shell and only come out or move at night and very slow. Matching description in the link - Melev's Reef - What is a whelk? I do have Nassarius snails also, my Nassarius snails are fast and very light colored, also have a large tail that drags behind them. I have also seen one of my bumble bee snails the other night, still looking great. Bottom line these turned out to be Whelks and are NOT tank safe as they will attack other snails and clams. So it the sump or the dump for these guys....

looks like hawaiian strombus snails to me...great snails and they readily breed in aquariums.

Hey Thanks for the reply Hawaiian Strombus sound like a cool little snail – hoping your right.
This whole thing is very confusing, these guys are never moving, only move at night, appear stuck on the glass. Seems to be some more differences in the shells and eyes on a whelk vs. a Hawaiian Strombus (columbellids) that could be compared if they came out of their shells.
I will do some more reviewing at next capture.
