I'm 99.9% sure that these are Nassarius Vibex but I'd like to get some more opinions on this.

Ok, they're pretty small, 1/2" or so...a few are smaller. They bury themselves in the sand, sometimes you'll see a snorkel sticking up. As soon as the food hits the water they come out of the sand searching for food. Their foot is about twice the length of their shell. They don't touch corals. Somtimes they're on the glass but not very often, one or two here or there but usually its only a short period of time then they go back to the sand. I think that's it.

If you need better pictures let me know.
