Anyone know what this is

Possibly an Atlantic Oyster Drill, Urosalpinx cinerea.

Do they have a black and white nose thing

Is it bad

It’s a predatory snail that eats some inverts that can’t run away (like oysters and barnacles) - I doubt it would eat corals, but it may eat other snails if it can catch them.

If it eating your other snails isn’t a dealbreaker for you and you like it, you can keep it and offer oysters and such to try and keep it healthy and fed.

Beyond just worrying about if the snail is predatory,,, I might be wondering what all of the fluffy growth on the shell could potentially be.

Its def that I googled it. Thank you

Yes I noticed a few snails dead with holes in shells i mean not the end of the world but still getting rid of it


As far as fuzzy stuff, probably something. Not worried about it

Tank is 10 years
