Snail ID

Came from TBS rock. Don't see it on their list. @LiverockRocks

Bonus pics. Baby cerith? and?

Looks like a whelk snail. Not reef safe.

Hmm. I have pulled a handful of these whelks out already. This one does not look like those and those were never on the glass.

Heres an ID sheet. Maybe on here somewhere.

I would ask TBS.

Stramonita floridana would be my guess. The most common rock hiking snails we see are whelks (predatory).

I'm late, but Stramonita or relative is a solid guess (I feel like I seen a snail just like this before, but I can't remember where or what it was); regardless, it's definitely not a safe snail.

The critter in the last pic is most likely an anemone of some kind; the baby cerith I would need to have time to sit and compare against some other kinds of snails (such as Rissoid snails and Pyramid snails).
