This guy was hiding out in the live sand that came with the tank. Just wondering what kind of snail this is and if they are good to have. Thanks

It looks like one of those larger "Tongan" Nassarius snails.
 
Nassarius ssp good CUC to have.

Thanks! Do they call them zombie snails because they hide under the sand? After the first night I couldn't find him and had no idea where he went to then he was there again the next day. I finally witnessed him burrowing under the sand.
 
They will burrow under the sand and clean the sand. Mine only came out from under the sand at night or feeding time.
