Back again with another critter finding in my nano tank! Everyday I find something new! This time, a little snail with a trunk. I looked around for pictures of snails, and he kind of looks like a whelk snail. I found a site that compares it to a nassarius:http://www.melevsreef.com/id/whats_a_whelk.html

I just added two astria snails and two blue legged hermit crabs yesterday. Now I found this little guy tonight. The website says that whelks attack and kill snails, so I took him out and put him in a tupperware until I can make sure if he is safe or not. Anybody have any thoughts on what he is?

well, from the pictures you gave and that photo in your link ide say it looks like a whelk snail, looks more smooth and black, the other looked to have a more jagged shell with a kind of cement look to it.
