This thing looks like a cross between a snail, my urchin (which happens to be photo bombing) and a conch , only seen it twice at night and I managed to get some photos this time. Anyone got any idea what on earth this is, not seen anything like it before, its freaking me out

The hairy stuff is its flesh and camouflage, cowries wrap their flesh around their shell to mimic coral for protection, that's why most cowries eat coral except a few such as money cowrie.
Where did you get this little cute guy, I wanna get some cowries but there's not too many on the market.
