Cowrie ID?????

[sinkingbeach]

I know it's nearly impossible to ID without a photo but I came across a hitchhiker and my camera just won't pick it up clearly.

It has a Cowrie type shell, the size of a pencil eraser in the pencil, pinkish purple type spots on a white background(both body and shell), blackish brown nose mouth tentacles, white spikes relative to it's size(mm) coming out of shell.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated, at the very least is it reef safe. Purchased a blue tort and a pink carnation coral today, it was on the pink carnation.

Thanks

Hmm, without a picture, I'm pretty much stuck. I'd watch the carnation for signs of predation.

Thanks, I did come across this http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=797391

still curious as to what this might be.

Thought I'd revisit this, at least there's a photo's now... again best I can do with my camera. I did take this out of my tank when I found him in a another coral.

Any help is appreciated,

The pictures are too blurry for me to make any more guesses.
