Found this guy cruising on my rock, not sandbed. How do we know the difference between a sand dwelling conch and a whelk who could bore holes in tankmates? (My guess is this is a whelk, so he is in a tub for now.)

That's a whelk. Usually it's a toss up between a whelk and a nassarius snail. Whelks have black tubes while nassarius I had white ones usually
