yes. a Cone Snail. It looks like a Conch- kind of- and is very predatory. Also venomous.

If it IS a Cone Snail, its is very venomous. To fish mostly.
No they are not good for much other than eating your animals. Thats the only snail that comes to mind that will proposely kill other snails to eat them. Nost other snails are grazers or scavengers.

Are those situations imported from live rock, or does that result in clean up crew orders, and them sending you something wrong at times? That's been a concern of mine, as I've read so many "bad" things too.

That'll be so amazing just to see what comes out of the live rock. I'm crossing my fingers no Mantis shrimp as well!
