What type of snail is this?

[MAH]

Can anyone help me identify what type of snail this is at the top of the picture, with the lighter shell? The fully brown lower and to its left is a hermit.

Two of these came in on with some live rock/Palys/Zoas I got.

Thank you

Pic of snail is very distant
Need one closer- may be either a nassarius or a whelk. Nassarius is good, a whelk definitely not

Does this help? It's approximately 1/2" long and sticks a "snout" out one end.

 

[I never finish anythi]

I'd say whelk .

Ok, I'll take a better look tonight. It appears Whelks have operculums, I have not noticed any on the 2 in my tank, but I may have missed it.

Possibly an olivoid snail (superfamily Olivdoidea) of some variety? I'm not sure though.
