I don't do well with these.....does it have a hard shell? I'm thinking a clam or muscle.

Let's get an experts eyes on this...... @Lionfish Lair

I guess we have differing opinions as I wouldn't have a problem keeping an annulus species in my tank.

Im going to go with you as i think its kool . And if it was that bad you would of told me straight away so thank you .
 
I can be wrong, though! In this case, it isn't my opinion, but one I "borrowed" from Don Barclay. He's my snail idol and is a true expert.

If he does create trouble, he won't be difficult to find and remove and he won't produce others.
 
Thats good point . Iv looked at what i can find on internet about them .but can't find anything that is saying the money cowrie is a bad guy really . And you have replyed to most of my post and find your replys very helpful
