My family and I went to Florida on vacation in Aug '06. I decided to go snorkeling off the coast one day, and I found this:

That is a cool Olive snail alright, you should know that they are predators. The eat snails and small bi-valves for a living.
 
yeah, I got him in Destin and all that's out there is an endless flat of sand under the water. I saw him cruising around, so I thought he might not be too reef safe. He's in w/ my seahorses and yeppers there's some snails, crabs, and one red mythrax crab. haven't noticed a decline in anything. he doesn't eat much. I feed my seahorses everyday and he comes out when he smells the food, grabs some, then goes back down.

so, so far so good.
