That thing looks sick whatever it is, I hope someone’s able to ID it so I can order one!

Need a better, clearer pic to be sure. Could be a whelk? Usually their snouts are "tattooed" looking.

How come you got all the cool live rock junk I ordered wet live rock specifically for the critters and only ended up with stomatella and bristle worms

Actually I think the bright pink snail hitched a ride on a indo hammer I bought

Doubting a conch due to the shell shape, conchs have that distinctive shape from the beginning

Sorry, the snail is dark and everything else is light around it, so it's hard to see the actual snail itself. Shine a light on it directly while taking the pic.

Look up whelk snail and red foot snail

Look up whelk snail and red foot snail

Does not seem to have that long snout that whelk have. The underside of the snail is the red color where the red foot snail is white underneath

Not a strawberry conch this shell is twisted like a conch

Yeah, I couldn't make out the snout at all, but I'm not ruling out the horse conch based the foot color. Whelks will have a snout.
