It was fun I had never seen a mammoth donkey in person and while in my mind I knew they were big I didn't realize how big until I met one today.

Nassarius or whelks?

I think the big one is a whelk. nassarius usually have smooth shells I think right?

Nassarius or whelks?

Shell Characteristics

• Nassarius Snails: Generally have elongated, slender shells with a more delicate appearance. Their shells are often less colorful.
• Whelks: Possess thicker, more robust shells that are often spiral-shaped and can be more ornate, with ridges or knobs.

I also came across this page. the snouts of whelks tend to be tattooed like a giraffe. yours looks like that.

nassarius are a type of whelk. The type you don’t want are the predatory ones. Their siphon is mottled and unlike the nassarius they don’t spend time under the sand. I’m thinking predatory whelk.

There's a bunch of 'em. I was going to link a video but it's taking forever to upload yo YouTube

Nassarius or whelks?

I would also say probably whelks. Nassarius snoots are usually darker and more uniform.

Should I crush and feed to hermit or flush down toilet?

They were all congregated around some sinking pellets I tossed in earlier. More keep turning up. Snails trap I guess

Do you have a sump. They could help clean detritus in there

I set mine out in the sun for a couple weeks, rinsed and put back in the tank and a hermit moved in immediately.

I think these are the nassarius in that pot. the one on the top too.

True. I have a pencil urchin and a fleshy limpet and 3 peppermint shrimp (I think, haven't seen them for a while but there's no Aiptasia left) in there
