Whelk or type of nassiurus?

[Mjb51]

Trying to find out if this is a good or bad critter found it near the sand bed on a piece of rock but not seen it since it is about the size of a nassiurus and same features but slightly more elongated and a different colour?

Doesn't look like a nassarius snail to me.

Could be a baby conch? That's the shell is in. Maybe a hermit?

These are all sizes and types of conchs.

Conchs are herbivores – they eat algae and other tiny marine plants.

Super thankyou looks like a conch, another good hitchhiker in the tank.

You're welcome! I knew what it was when I saw it because I see them all the time in the Bahamas or keys.

Some conchs hunt and kill snails..had one thought it was a fighting snail but it wasnt.i wanna say it was a queen conch,but really cant remember the name.
