Fel Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I checked out my aquarium with the lights off and found this guy on a cerith snail up by the water line. Is he a welk? I had some nassarius snails before ago but they all disappeared several months ago. Most of my other snails don't seem to last very long either. I blamed a hermit crab but I wonder if it was this guy? Link to comment
halcyonism Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 From what I can see it looks like a nassarius to me, but check out this link for more information. http://www.melevsreef.com/id/whats_a_whelk.html Link to comment
Fel Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 thanks. I had checked a couple website and couldn't make heads or tails of how to tell the difference. That one was actually clear and concise. I think it is a whelk since he has the pad on his tail and there is a pattern on his snout. Link to comment

not_so_nano Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Best way to tell, drop a snail in there with him and see Link to comment
Fel Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 I did think of that. Link to comment
