In my coral qt. 60 days in. First time I’m seeming it. I’ve seen two about the size of a small pea. Image is magnified. The PVC pipe is 1” pipe for size reference.

This is what the underside would look like if it were a sundial.....

I’ll try to get a bigger pic but here’s the underside. Not sure if it’s the same

Is that a cone-shaped operculum pointed straight at us, or a flat operculum?

Well I made the mistake of throwing them in a cup with freshwater so they are dead and no I didn’t see anything pointing out.

Caught another one. No cone shape. I have Trochus and zebra Turbo Snails. Could it be their babies ?
