Snail ID

[igorz]

Hi, I'm new here. I have a three months old nano tank that I'm slowly stocking. I got some snails from an online store that are supposed to be Nassarius vibex and Cerithium caeruleum. I'm not sure though. Cen you help me identify them? Thank you!

Both look like Nassarius snails to me. Where did you get them from?

Got them in a European online shop Ocean Store. These are the listings:

I got two of each. I presume two are actually Nassarius vibex, and the other two are Nassarius something else. I just fear they’ll get too big for my 23 gallon.

I did some more digging and googling and I think the first one (lighter one) is likely a Nassarius coronatus and the second one (darker one) is probably actually a Nassarius vibex. Can anyone confirm?

They will fine in your 23g, as stated both are nassarius. Your sand bed is going to thank you.
