Found a hitch hiker on a Christmas tree Rock. Want to make sure it's not a pyramid snail. It's small, maybe 3/16" 20220305_213040.jpg

I don't believe pyramid snails have a proboscis. To me it looks like either an immature conch of some sort or a variety of nassarius snail. Where did you get the rock?
Given the number of undesirable nassarius and conch varieties out there, I would probably not put it back in my tank... It's pretty though :)

Just went to FFM here in Connecticut and won the raffle. Found bubble algae and 1 aptaisia and this small snail also. I think I'll toss it. Thanks
