Never seen this big footed guy before anyone I’d him for me please

 

[Greg P]

I'll vote Stomatella
If so, great addition to your tank

 

[ScottR]

Never seen a stomatella like that. Definitely resembles one but I’m following. This is an interesting one.

@KJ check this out

 

[Allen glover]

It’s quite big I’ll see if I can get a pic with something to relate size too

 

[Pyromofyr]

Do both sides of the shell look the same? Or is there a whirl on one end?

 

[Allen glover]

Whirl also in all likely good it was collected in Queensland Australia

 

[Pyromofyr]

If theres a small whorl on one side, I'm betting it's a moon snail (Naticidae)

Good or bad ?

 

[Pyromofyr]

If it's a naticid, and you want other snails in your tank, then no. They are extremely predatory towards other mollusks.

Hmm is it common for them to bury themselves ? I did a clean out today and pretty sure I found it buried. Then when I put it back in the tank it immediately buried itself again

That's typically where they spend most of their time, as they are mollusk predators, they search for other buried snails/clams/etc, even crabs. Might not be the best inhabitant to hang on to if you like your other members of your CUC
