Is that a type of Heliachus?

Edit: looks neat. How’d you manage?
Not a heliacus, but I just looked those up and they seem pretty cool. It’s a trochus but the patterning on it is weird compared to the parent (at least I assume who the parent was).

I saw a trochus snail spawning in the tank so I took out the mechanical filtration in my tank for a few days because I read that they have a larval stage. Found a few babies growing in the sump about a month later, so I transferred them to the main display. This is the only one I saw make it to adulthood.
