I bought a pin cushion sea urchin today . It had some shells on its back but when I got home I saw they were live snails. I'm not sure if I should add the snails to my tank or not. I cannot identify them. Any idea what this is? I have 50 gal reef tank w inverts and a few fish.

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
