Whelk. I ditched one last week and I suggest you do the same. They can wreak havoc.

Before you ditch it, google "collumbellid snails"

I have hundreds in my tank and are beneficial algae eaters.....

Thanks. I didn't think it was either as I have not had nassarius snails for over 14 mths since I switched to sand less.

They call it a mini conch and Are considered reef safe. Before releasing back to the main tank hope to get more validations on this.

Thanks

It is Columbellid snail as I have them in the hundreds in my tank and yes they are good tank mate to SPS,LPS and softies,I never had any issues with them,theu are fun to watch sometimes as they hang off the rocks,and you see their egg sack on the glass as it is very neat.To be honest I have no algae in my tanks and think they might be part of that reason as I have no cleaners in my tanks.Hope that helps.

Great! Back in the tank and hope to see more of them. Gotta be my best hitch hiker I've ever gotten but kinda strange that I had never seen it in the past...

Thank you everyone for their advice and expertise!
