3/8" long...

I can't really see enough detail to give you a positive ID, but it's shaped like the protoconch and early whorls of an Astraea or Astralium.

 

[karimwassef]

Good or bad?

 

[pagojoe]

Good.

 

[karimwassef]

Thanks.

Took it out for a better pic

 

[pagojoe]

Yeah, that doesn't look much like the first pic lol. It could be a baby conch. If it is, it will have the conch eyes, with the big black pupil and an extendable foot like the adults. If it doesn't, and is greenish or red, it's not something you want in your tank.

Cheers,

Could be a baby conch, if it's not it's probably some sort of whelk.

 

[JwAllen]

+1 on the whelk. Better to be safe then sorry.

 

[karimwassef]

Unfortunately, I already let it loose. I'll catch it when I can.

Looks conch-like to me?
