To tell you the truth, I don't have the true genus species for this guy, I found it on the net once and said it was a Whelk, but nass and whelks are very close so we will never truly know for sure.

He did eat like 3 snails in about a week, not reef safe.

Fun game, your turn.

Come on Bri, that's not fair. You can't post a pic of something and have people guess what it is if you don't even know what it is. LOL!!

I've heard some stories of nassarius snails getting into a bit of trouble also (even thought the literature says reef safe). I think Bill had one suspiciously near a dead clam once. Scarlet cleaner shrimp are reef safe also but I had one eat a small clam. Given the level of starvation (which many reef tanks need to be at so nutrient levels are low enough for corals to thrive in a confined environment), I think just about any carnivores and detrivores will turn on your tank and see a nice snack somewhere.

Well I had hopes of capturing a nice video of this next creature but my camera sucks at taking videos (especially in low light) so here are a few pics.

Tell me what creature is extending these little tentacles and if it's reef safe or not. At times it can have upwards of 10-15 tentacles out at one time and they can reach as far as 6-8 inches. It's very light sensitive and only comes out at night (makes it very hard to get good pics of it!!). Every morning there is a nice little pile of finely sifted detritus over it's den.

spaghetti worm?

Yep! That one was kind of easy, but it's quite an interesting creature.

Ok what is it, and if you can, what coral does it prey on...

star polyp eating nudi?

zoa eating nudi.

Bri guy I had several welks come in one time on an order of live rock from Tampa Bay. I thought they were cool until I saw them killing things. I hated to do it but I'd get rid of it.

Kass got it!

Did the whelks look like the one I had posted?
