I’ve seen that and have visited it often. Just looking for confirmation on my suspicion. Thanks for your help.They also have a link with common hitchhikers
Found another critter. I believe it is a whelk. Thoughts?
Not that ive read or looked online about, only that they eat other snails etcThanks everyone. I can see a tatooed proboscis so it must be a whelk. There’s a couple more in the tank that were incidentally blown off rocks during a water change. Ill need to remove them sooner rather than later.
Has anyone witnessed whelks eating acros?
This article has some incorrect information. All whelks (including beneficial nassarius snails) have an operculum.Whelk versus Nassarius | Melev's Reef

Whelks prey on other snails and the like. If these are commonly on your rocks (and not buried in the sand), they are almost definitely predatory whelks.Thanks everyone.
