K kellyb22 Guest Oct 17, 2011 #1 I need to know if this is a reef safe creature!! just found it tonight, thanks.
bang guy Moderator Oct 17, 2011 #2 It's a Buccinid Whelk. It will act as a scavenger until it runs out of carrion. When that happens it will attack and eat snails, limpids, or any other creature it can catch. It is safe with corals.

mikeo5422 Member Nov 15, 2011 #5 I think this snail is still killing my snails but I cant seem to find him anymore. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to trap this thing?
