Snail ID

[LobsterOfJustice]

I know the one on the sand next to the clam shell is a nassarius, it's the other three I'm worried about.

I can't tell enough about the one you're sure is a Nassarius to verify your ID on that one (it doesn't look like a Nassarius to me?), but the others are Pollia fumosa, a common Indo-Pacific whelk. They eat other snails, mostly.

Cheers,

Ok thanks. I will pull them as I see them.

Here's another shot of the "nassarius":

Ya, he has some odd little knobs, but it's a Nassarius alright.

Cheers,
