For some reason the video won’t load for me. I know whelks have points on their shell, multiple points, and their flesh looks almost like it has been tattooed.

Help ID Snail -- Whelk?
I have found several of these snails in my TBS live rock shipment -- from 1/2 cm to 1 cm maybe? These are whelks, because of the "trunk," right? As in BAD snails to remove since they can harm other crustacean shells? Thank you!

Doesnt look too much like it, its shell is light brown with tattoos on it, but the flesh is like a light brown ( maybe because its a baby still) it definitely doesnt dig in the sand though just stays crawling on the rock.For some reason the video won’t load for me.
