Snail ID

[Lauren36]

Looking for assistance getting an ID on this snail. It doesn't look like any of the ones I've introduced into the tank myself. Thanks!

The shell reminds me of a conch.

I do have a Tonga and Florida fighting conch in the tank. Is it possible these are baby conchs?

Pick it up and see, I have a hermit crab loving its new conch snail shell

It didn't even cross my mind that it could be a conch. I'll pick one up when I get home and take a closer look. I've actually seen 3 or 4 of the little guys.

I think it's similar, if you did not add intentionally then definitely pick one up to see who is in the shell

So it looks like I do have baby conchs and I'm guessing it's from the Tonga. I only see him once every few weeks, but he's been busy apparently!

That’s a lucky hitch hiker!

It is hard to tell without knowing a general location of collection.
But to me it looks similar to a dove snail, did you use Caribbean rock?

It does kind of look like a dove snail too. I think I may have to wait until the shell is completely formed or they get a little bigger. I know I didn't directly introduce any dove snails though. Tank is about 6 months old and I used Caribsea LifeRock.
