Whelk?

Pretty sure this is a whelk. Let me know if anyone thinks different.. If so do I toss it in the trash or safe in the sump?

Can you try for a pic under white light? I'm struggling to get a good view of it. You could name him Lawrence though!

Kind of reminds me of a small snail I left in my tank, except mine has a more black flesh and calico shell. Almost like a mini nassarius in appearance. It hasn’t caused any problems that I know of.

Thanks for the replies! Here's some better pics. Still in a bag just in case .

I’d say it’s a Nasarius, but I don’t know much about Whelks either…

Lawrence is well vouched for. It’s the rest of the riff raff in that darn orchestra you need to worry about.
