What once was few became many

[AWOL]

Found one of these little guys on my zoas several weeks back. Seemed to be ticking them off. Now I have multiples of them around the tank. I have all sorts of CUC in the tank including some snails with snorkels.

Can anyone identify these little guys? I have looked all over but cannot find this tiny size and color.

Thanks!

Look like tiny Nassarius snails

I'd guess a dove snail (taxonomic family Columbellidae) of some kind, though I don't know what kind. The long siphonal canal (where the "trunk" - the siphon - of the snail comes out of the shell from) is a relatively uncommon trait for the family though.

Thank you for the help. Definitely looks like they could be dotted dove snails. As long as they are cleaners they are welcome around here.

Thanks!

Doesn't look like whelks atleast, i have 1 small nassarius like yours but mine has the vibex markings so i guess its a vibex in mine.
