ID of snail

Hi guys, I found this snail in my 120 gallon reef tank. He must have come in with some live rock as I didn't buy him. Does anybody know what it is? Thanks

Yes, it's an Engina, which is a kind of buccinid whelk. They can eat tiny worms and potentially tiny snails, and are obligate carnivores, but...one of them in your tank isn't likely to hurt much.

Cheers,
