Can someone ID this snail please?

This snail looked to me like a nasarius snail but did not act like one. He mostly hung out in corals or rocks and has an awkward movement. His trunk looks like he is tattooed and he is light sensitive. Thanks.

Sorta looks like a Cerith Snail... could be wrong though... I've got about 15 Nassarius and none are colored quite that dark.
 
Yeah, it's a buccinid whelk. A really cool one, but it's one of the Goblet Snails, and will eat other snails.

Cheers,



Don
