Need help Id-ing this one. My LFS said he's seen this one time called a "Funny snail" but never seen it again. His guess was some sort of cowry, possibly from Fiji. (My Guess is that his distributor didn't know what it was either, hence the name funny snail)
Here's what I observe:
...Shell is about 1 1/2 inches, very smooth with a leopard-ish patern.
..Lives beneath the substrate
...appears to be reef safe, hasn't bothered anything, near as I can figure it has been in my tank for 3 months, min. (that's the last time I added anything big enough for it to be hiding on)
...Hides A LOT I have only seen this one other time in that 3 months, I have looked at night, too.
...Today was my first opportunity to see it eat, and it is deffinately carnivorous, (don't know if it's omnivorous) it stole some meat right out of the Sun Coral.
...Has a "periscope" similar to a Necsarius but also a very long, almost elephant-like mouth.
...May be coincidence, but it was flipped on its back to eat the meat, but it may have just ended up that way from falling off the sun coral.
Sorry for the hazy picture, the only camera I had available was my Cell phone. I have other pics from other angles if you need them.[/img]
