Snails ID

[vincephuket]

Hi, anyone can help with these Snails ID please?

Thanks a lot!

Hard to tell with coralline on some of them and a bit of blurryness in the photos. Closer up shots of the shell and the actual snail so we can see some morphological features may help.

to narrow it down they maybe some sort of cerith or whelk species , id bet more on crerith since it dosenot look like they have a trunk but to be sure dose it have a trap door if it has the trap door its a whelk.

No trap door... I am worried they might be Drupella sp.
I got them on the reef near where I live... I think I ll bring them back...

off yeah forgot about murex species as well , honestly id just see if someone had a puffer then rather than putting them back.

That's kinda funny being on an island you'd think someone else would have an interest. Anyway if everything you have is from there it shouldn't be a problem just saying because of the micro nasties that could be accidently transferd from your tank to the reef if you had stuff from elsewhere.

Tank is still empty, only 23 days old. Only dry rocks collected from the same beach where the reef I collected the snails from is.
