I thought it might be that or a Turbo Snail. Everything that I've read about Turbo Snails is true to mine, except they don't really look like the one's I have. :?

It looks like a nassurius (sp?). Live primarily in the sand bed.

What is a fighting conch? Are they dangerous in a FOWLR tank? I have 9 of them total.
