Does this look like Nassarius to ya'll? Will it eat other snails?

It looks like Nassarius glans which is classified as a detritivore & scavenger. Close relatives will go after sick or dying animals & are known to fight with other scavengers over food.

Those are a kind of Nassarius snails, Tongan or not I am not sure. You have to be careful when you purchase nassaurius snails because there are some species live in Atlantic coast of America continent that prefer cool water. People in Florida or Carolina sometime sell them as Nassaurius snails but they will not live long in reef setting.

Additionally, these snails will need to be fed extra.
