Help to identify snail

[scubabr53]

I think this is some kind of conch snail, it lives in my tank since march of the last year. So far it seems fine and I did not noticed any damage done by it.
Can someone identify it and does anyone has same species in their tank?

Not even a guess?

Some type of triton snail mabey, just a guess though.

+1 on the triton

Thanks to all who responded, and yes based on the shell shape it is does look like some kind of triton snail. Still if this is a triton snail it would hunt and eat my other snails or star fish. I have about 10-12 brittle and serpent starfish and about 5-6 other snails in my tank but they all seems OK. The other snails even lay eggs and sometime I can see a little baby snails developed in the tank. Interesting what this mystery snail feeds on?

I still think a triton,just happens to not be interested in anything in your tank at the moment,hopefully it stays like that. I tend to find that triton snails more so bother heavy bodied starfish(crimsons/knobby,chocolate chips,crown thorns,bat star,pillow star etc. Not to say it wouldn't bother a linkia or fromea or slender bodied star,I can't think of a time I've saw any type of predatory invertebrate bother serpent or brittle stars. Keep an eye on them,if they start loosing parts or getting taken out at least you know who the culprit is.

Thank you CleanYourTank (hahaha) how did you came-up with this name.
I will keep an eye on my stars, if it's loosing one leg here and there I will tolerate this snail because it does look very nice and unique.
I'll keep everyone posted on developments if any, I hope not.

No problem. Lol, long story but I do installations and maintenance for a living

Yeah just watch everything, just because they are "supposed to" eat stuff like that doesn't necessarily mean it will.Agreed,one of the coolest snails out there imo. Good luck with it!
