Hey community, I’m hoping someone out there can help me ID this little guy. He is about half of an inch and looks like a tiny conch to me. His actual shell has black and white spots all over it or at least that’s what I can see on the underside where there is no algae, a friend of mine does a lot of wild imports and I got a couple fags from him and he came with them so any help would be greatly appreciated.

That looks alarmingly like a cone snail, do not touch it or handle it until you have a definite ID. Can you get pics from the side? Does it have two divets in the front of the shell? Google “conch vs cone snail” to compare.

Many cone snails can paralyze and cause death very easily.

Not trying to cause panic, but would rather be safe than sorry haha.
