Brown Striped Snail ID

Evg07 · 08/08/2017, 10:34 PM

Hi, guys.

I've been a dedicated follower of the forum for some time, but this is my first post so far.

This guy just showed up on my tank, and I'm guessing he hitchhiked with some corals I recently purchased.

I have around 12 turbo snails, and 8 small nassarius. His shell looks somewhat similar to the other nassarius, but he doesn't move like a regular snail. He seems to drag himself around, very similar to what my fighting conch does.

I would very much appreciate if you could help me ID this little guy and decide if he can stay.

Thanks in advance.

It looks to be a juvenile miter. It should eat tiny worms.
