Marble nassarius snails?

[fasteddie99]

I just went to my lfs and picked up a few things, my first flasher wrasse, 3 heads of some of the brightest frogspawn I've seen, and 2 "marble" nassarius snails. I can't find any information about these snails however :sad2:

I was going to take a picture of them but as soon as I plopped them in they buried themselves quickly. I can only describe them as being very large, about the size of a large turbo snail, and they have a shiney marbled shell.

Anyone ever heard of these guys?

My LFS gets them from time to time. I've never bought any but based on what I've seen of them in their tanks, they seem to be just like regular Nassarius snails, but with prettier shells. Never heard the store say anything about problems with them.

I have a dozen of those in my 120.

I've never seen anything like that around here. Just as a precautionary measure, check out this link.
