Hi all,

I've just found a snail that I cannot ID on my tank, and it looks like a mixture of a nassarius snail and a strobums snail, but I don't think it's either.

Can you help me out identifying it?

The picture was taken on the vertical glass, and I've seen it roam around sand, rock and glass, if that helps ID it.

Cheers!

Thank you! It seems like a columbellid snail alright. Size is around 1 cm, or less than 1/2 inch.
