    Added this guy to my fuge a few weeks ago and hadn't seen him since. Extended he's about 3 inches long.

    I got him from John Malony who runs reefcleaners.org.

    He is pretty cool....weird how his mantle covers part of the shell.

    A cerith snail that made it into my fuge a few days ago met his maker sometime today.....found this guy eating him. Well it confirms what John told me about it possibly eating other snails.
