Looks like Love Nassarius Style

[Homestarmy]

Hello,

A couple of months ago I happened across a couple of snails entangled and rolling around the floor of my aquarium. I thought to myself that those snails really like or dislike each other. Turns out it was the former and now I have hundreds of little snails sliding rampart around my tank.

I think they’re Nassau’s, but I’m finding that’s a rather broad term, so I was wondering/hoping if anyone could ID them for me. I can try to get more/better pics if need be.

Thank you!

Sort of looks like a Welk to me. Which is not a friend and they eat Clams and potentially other snails.
Whelks don’t burrow in the sand. Do you see these burrowing and chilling with their siphon/periscope above the sand whilst they lay beneath?
I’d remove.

Whelk? I’ll dig into that. Thank you!

Took a couple more pictures. Google thinks it’s a Cerith.

Yea. Ceriths breed like crazy.
