reefersRus Astrea Snail Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: Lynnwood, WA Posts: 65 Karma: 47	Thank you Don!! "Hey reefersRus, Your snail is a juvenile buccinid whelk, Cantharus (Pollia) undosus (or Pollia undosa, if you accept Pollia as a full genus). This species gets a flared lip when it reaches adulthood, as in the link below. It won't bother your corals, but may attack and kill any snails that you have in your tank. Pollia undosa Cheers, Don" I looked the whelk up and that is it exactly!!! As I would love to keep a crocea in the future I took it out. Thank you all for your help. This is a great site!!
