More than likely what you got were Ilyanassa obsoleta snails. They look very similar to the nassarius snails but they are found in temperate waters off of areas like the Southern U.S. (We have them here in N.C. as well). They are not the normal Nassarius Vibex snails that you see for sale that are commonly used in the reef tank. They can actually bring in some nasty parasites and disease to your tank. They can also go after other snails and possibly corals as well. Here is a good article on the differences in the two snails. I'm not saying don't use them, just be careful and take a look at this.

Thanks for that article. But I still think they are Nassarius Vibex snails.. they have a sharp tip and the shells are still very rigid. I hope im not wrong lol.
