I live in North Carolina. about 20 minutes from the beach. Ive seen the obsoleta snails you discussed.
Theres millions of them. the reason people have so many, is because i can walk out into the sound, say 5 feet, and collect hundreds of thousands all day if needed. I used them in my tank before i broke it down, just to see how they were. they did seem fine, but i had read about them killing meleevs clam.
But for someone who doesnt know, they would"seem" completely reef safe. they dug down into my sandbed and moved around with their snouts(tubes) out of the sand.
Cool to have seen a writeup about them.
