Snail ID , baby bumblebee?

[DHill6]

Just found this guy in the sock.The striping isn’t like a bumblebee. Shape isn’t exactly like one either. It doesn’t let me change the title either. I don’t think it’s a bumble.

TBS live rock. As of now he’s in a bowl until ID.

I have no idea. Picture is a bit blurry though.

Maybe @ISpeakForTheSeas would know.

Looks like a whelk from TBS hitchhiker page…he’s out of here!

Good call. I was leaning towards whelk but wasn't quite sure.

Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen that stalk on my bumblebees.

While it looks like a bumblebee to my untrained eyes, perhaps a small nassarius or little nerite snail?

It was a heavy textured shell with stripes, long snout and I thought I also saw the eyes on two other smaller things that stuck out from the body. Not like any of my bumblebee snails. I also have 3 cerinths but not like those either. Define not my trochius, when in doubt take it out.

Something from the Nassariidae family, which includes both whelks and nassarius. I think this is likely a whelk. Couldn't be a bumblebee snail since those are endemic to the North Pacific.

Good to know.
