Smooth Pink Snail

Jamesmost · Nov 19, 2019

I pull a few of these out of my tank every year

Never seen them do damage

Find in sand bed nocturnal hours..

This one I found on my pipe organ

The shell shape says cerith to me.

With so many endless spieces list I'm having trouble finding anything. It does have the shape of cerithiidae but I haven't found any that are that color and have a smooth shell. I would either when in doubt pull it out or keep an eye on them to see if you notice any damage to corals. I will tag @KJ and maybe he can figure it out. Sorry I'm no help on this one.

Agree! And nocturnal snail most likely hunt something at night.

how tiny is it? Ceriths are usually brown or white right?

@KJ
Doesnt resemble a cerith....

I think it may be a juvenile of this type: Turritella communis

Resembles a young come snail to me. Could be totally wrong though.

I pull them out of tank 6 or so a year...
Never bigger or smaller

Jist looked at a few hundred pics of cone snails...
Don't think so...
Never had any fish disappear or death.

Cones are highly venemous....
Guess I should stop grabbing them by hand
