I looked over and noticed this guy. He is about the size of a grain of rice with a brown cylindrical shell flying around on my sand bed. Was going to grab him but thought about it after the fact. Of course!!


wasnt sure if it was a baby, haven’t noticed any eggs. Sorry for the terrible quality.

I do have a nessarius and turbo snails.

I have one of these little guys also. Not sure where he came from or what he is...I’d be interested to hear the input.
 
If we're looking at the little guy with the big proboscis, it looks like a nassarius snail to me. The video didn't work for me. Can you try to get a closer picture?
