I remember IDing something like this once a very long time ago. I'll be back once I find the thread where I did so.It has a mouth like a bumblebee snail (trunk like) and a shiny spiral shell. Thanks!
I found this guy strolling fast on my sand bed. It looked candy cane stripped at first. Took it out when I realized it was a snail. It is the size of a grain of rice. It looks like it has a siphon. Is it a baby nassarius snail? I do have two nassarius snails. I know that whelks look very similar. Or maybe it is a totally different kind of snail. Just didn't know if anyone could tell being this small. If it's a baby nassarius snail I don't want to get rid of it.
Thank you!
Yeah, the closest snails I know are from the same taxonomic subfamily (Marginellinae) as true Marginella spp. snails - I'd guess a Volvarina sp.; these are still known as "Marginella" or "Margin" shells/snails.
