Good or bad snail? (1 Viewer)

[Tiffany]

So I found this guy on a Monti I bought a couple months ago. I just saw him for the first time in a couple weeks. He had almost doubled in size since then. Is he a good snail or do I need to take him out?

Just a size comparison, that is a regular sized cleaner shrimp

Hi, Tiffany.
I don't recognize that snail, but, you know it's always better to be a little cautious. If you haven't already, it might be a good idea to try and remove it.

good luck,
Steve

its hard to tell the coloration of the shell...

maybe this
Canarium urceus (Linnaeus, 1758) - Checklist View


or maybe

Oyster drill (Urosalpinx cinerea)

or maybe Strombus pipus

The oyster drill looks close. Either way he is trapped and going to a new home where he will be used for a bigger, badder creature's lunch.
