When I started up my new 240 in September, I added a whole crapola load of cleaner crew, and my LFS sold me these "new pretty nassarius snails" that they had just gotten in. I bought a handful of them, and have never had a problem with them. They act just like regular old nassarius snails, and I never thought anything differently about them.
Then, I just happened to be browsing this page. And know what they are? Babylonia Whelk (Predator). According to Indo Pacific Snails.
I googled babylonia whelk and get ALL SORTS of different pictures. But my snails are definitely the ones pictured in the link above.
My question: Has anyone else seen these snails sold as nassarius? Can anyone tell me for sure if they are whelks? Because if they are, I'm SUPER PISSED. I have a buttload in my tank. They are big, like the size of ping pong balls.
