Is it normal it doesn't go into the sand? Or is it cause it's very small at the moment.Nassarius snail
That's awful Webster sorry to hear that. So far he stays in the same area and hides under my zoas. Gonna keep my EYE on him. Thanks.Most likely a nassarias snail but could also be a whelk. Whelks are carnivorous and will kill your clams and other snails. They are almost identical to the nassarias with only a slight difference at the opening.
I lost the first two clams I ever tried to keep and couldn't understand why until one night I happened to look at the tank with a light. I saw one of my "nassarias" snails on my clam but didn't think anything of it until the clam died a week or so later. Turns out, what was sold to me as a nassairus snail was actually a whelk and it had been eating my clams.
Most likely it's a nassarius but it never hurts to check.
