Hi.

Could you please help to see whether these type of snails are safe for coral and fish or not ?

I saw the big snail, it like to go to anemone and do something (not sure what it did ).

Thank you.

Top snail is a cowrie. I had one in my main tank and its high suspected of eating my prata coral . Its a 50/50 thing.

Not sure the bottom snail is what species.

Bottom snail should be a nasarius right? Can check out the link on Live Aquaira.

i dont think its a nassa, nassa shell is smoother dont have the ridges before the spiral

there are other predatory snails that looks like nassa, think they are call cerith or something

Oh really??!!! I currently have 3 of these in my tank. They behave and act exactly as described in the website. Smell food they would come out of sand, scavenge fast in the sand, has the siphon that sticks out of sand.

Hmm... But I do see them attacking a shell fish which I thrown it after I dug out from East Coast beach. Any other experts have any idea what snail is that? My snails also climb onto the glass wall like the one shown in the pic.

nassa are safe because they are purely scavengers, only eat dead

predatory snails will start hunting if they are hungry
