NOT reef safe snail

I found this guy in a crabpot. Or To be more clear, his shell. Eaten by the crabs as revenge, for he is a moon snail. They drill holes in bivalves and crustations, then inject a toxin so they can suck out the yummy center. Second largest snail on the planet. As a reef geek I am fascinated. Carnivorous snails are cool. But I'd stick with cerinths for your tank :-)

(Please ignore the fact that my finger shows my neglect of timely manicures)
