Its a snail


hth

























sorry..dont know but I can tell you it ISNT a polyp muncher and unless it had a snout or spear like appendage coming out of its head it is a harmless grazer of sorts and not hurting anything else either

Looks very much like a beneficial Strombus snail.

It's a juvenile Vexillum exasperatum, a sand-plowing worm eater. It won't hurt anything in your tank.

It's a fairly variable species from the Indo-Pacific.

Cheers,
