Can you ID this snail?

Any idea what type of snail this is? This is as large as I've seen them.

Looks like an olive snail

Possibly Marginella snail?

Two good shouts there, but I just had a Google and I seen a good few possible matches under Marginella. Only a couple possible matches at different images of Olividae snails.

I'm going with Marginella snail as well. They are carnivorous and predatory. I would not put it back in the tank.

When in doubt take it out

Agree keep it out, if it was an Olividae I would say keep. But its more likely a Marginella

Thanks! I've got some image diving and googling to do now, lol.

The one pictured is d.e.a.d. so, isn't going back in.
I've seen 2 or 3, here and there so next time I find one I'll be pulling them out.

I've pulled 7 out the last two mornings, for a total of 14...in two days...! that seems like a lot to me.
Someone mentioned they are "carnivorous and predatory" what is usually on their menu? Anything alive/dead as long as its meaty? Or are they more selective?

From what I have read they will eat what they can catch. Like clams, other snails, or just left over food from what you feed the tank.
