Snail identification?

[stellablu]

Does anyone know of a good photo ID site for snails?

I collected 22 little buggers from the lagoon and I haven't a clue what they are. Perhaps I could identify them if I had a photo index to browse through...

Here is a picture of one of them. They are 3/4" long and bury themselves in the sand during the day...at night they all come up and are quite active....very fast moving. They have that little foot thing sticking out of their head like a conch does. Any ideas?

I believe that's one of these fellas--Nassarius vibex. I've got a batch of them in my tank and they seem to be pretty good cleaners.

I'm pretty sure Trips is right.Nassarius

Thank you, guys!

I'm giving a handful to my boyfriend's tank...22 of them are a bit much, I think ha!

One of my favorite snails. I have 3 in my 10. They stay under the sand, with their tube extended above the surface, and erupt up when ever I feed.
