No its not like Nassarius. Its more like Turbo snail. Short.

commonly called “drill” snails, these hail from the family muricidae.

I am sorry for being late but if they’re sighted in your tank i suggest you remove them immediately as their name implies, they’re predators and will drill holes into other snails such as CUCs like trochus and nassarius snails, leak acid into the holes and suck their flesh out.
