Snail ID

[redfishbluefish]

Just found this guy crusing on the sand. I do have collonista snails, but this guy is way too big for a collonista. Any idea what it is. FYI, I haven't added anything to my tank in ages, with the exception or six trochus snails a week or so ago....and this guy wasn't part of that package.

Confirmed.....Caribbean Nerite. Thanks everbody.



Now I'm just wondering where this guy came from???



And Horseplay, I don't know what you do, but I'll hire you today and pay you with these "quarters."

I have had snails show up ages after my tank was set up. No idea where they came from. Just glad they weren't bad. Mostly I found them in my upper sump where the water was slowly moving.
