Can anyone please help me ID this snail?
It has red body.

Thank you! Do you happen to know what type? I would like to research if I can keep it in the display.
I was just diving in Florida and they called it a horse conch. I believe its fighting conch.
If it would be a horse conch- Thery can get super large.
 
The tank is a decent size and if it will grow too large I can give it to someone with a bigger tank.
 
Given the shape and the red foot, it’s probably a “horse conch.” It’s important to note with horse conches that 1) they’re not actually conches - they’re very large predatory snails, and 2) they can grow to two feet in length.

Yeah I'm also not seeing a stromboid notch on the shell to suggest it's an actual conch and not a murder-snail
 
Thank you all!
I won’t put it in the display since I have snails there.
