I just purchased two sand sifting snails. One is a nass. and the other one is what I believe to be a "Conus Tessulatus". The shell is white/biege and it has orange dots on it.

Is this thing reef safe?

I hope someone knows!

I'm not 100% but it looks more like a conch of some sort. Maybe a Tonga Fighting Conch. I would wait for a more definite ID. Does it have a sharp foot?
 
Thanks for the help.

It was ID'd by someone else as being a "Mitra mitra"

The snail goes through the sand and will eat worms.
 
Yeah, that does look more like it. Nice pick up!
