Pyramid or Nassarius distortus snail?

[ahmed.boomer]

ID of this snail. Want to get a second opinion. I thought they were nassarius snails. Appeared isolated, but there were other snails of the same size and shape over the rock as well. I also have astrea, cerith and nerite snails.

So took all my inverts out in early August as I dosed Interceptor for red bugs. Killed all inverts I didn't remove. Reintroduced all my inverts towards the end of August. I have two clams (Derasa and Maxima). They haven't seemed to be affected. I have not added any new corals for about 6 weeks.

Would the best plan be to just use interceptor again with all my inverts in the tank?

Looks like a longhorn snail get rid of it at all costs

I inspected most of my snails, there were no signs. I also inspected my two clams. There were no visible eggs or snails there either.

The rock they appear to be on is in the very far corner of a 2ft deep tank with a canopy so it's hard for me to reach back there with tweezers.

That would sure get my attention.
Are you checking at night or during the day?

Checked an hour after I turned the lights off I didn't see anything (just now).

I got them to come out during the day when I fed my fish. I didn't think they'd do that.

I went back and looked at Pyramid Snail images, and that sure looks like one. It's been a long time since I have had them but I always found them at the base of the clam and at the mantle at night.

If you find out what they are update the thread please.

Here's two I just got out. There was one or two bigger than the ones I have shown here. I just couldn't reach them. I'll keep you guys updated.

Couple other photos I took last night. There were more of these snails on the clam shell I feed my nori on than there were on either of my two live clams. There were a several (6-10) within 3 inches of an astrea snail, but didn't bother it.

Never ID them but I had these in my tank. Mainly the refugium thanks to my wrasse. I thought pyramid at first too but they seem to be scavengers not specialist like the pyramid. Hopefully can get an ID.

That's a Rissoid.
