kl86 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Got two of these snails for free. What type of snails are they? Link to comment
kl86 Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Closest thing I can find is that it might be a whelk snail? Anyone can confirm this for me? Link to comment
smeagol108 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 the pics arent the best, but the snail that comes to mind with the tentacle coming out of its head is Nassarius. Link to comment
kl86 Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Could be. Ones buried itself in sand with its snout poking out of the sand. Just read that whelks don't dig themselves under the sand. Link to comment

johnmaloney Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 It isn't one of the normally encountered Nassarius spp., I think it is Nassarius margaritiferus Variable color, but the shape and spirals seem to be the same. Here is a link to a picture I did not take to compare: http://thumbs1.picclick.com/d/l400/pict/360513732972_/Nassarius-Margaritiferus-Dunker-1847From-Punta-Engano-Cebu.jpg Link to comment
