I just bought three large snails(2.5-3 inches) I cant recall they are called They are sand sifters and have white shells with orange spots. The guy at the lfs recommended them for cleaning the sand bed. Im not sure if they are reef safe though or will die on me in a few weeks, any identity hints or opinions would be helpful. The guy at the lfs is very knowledgable.

Thanks

Chris

Great link Goldenmean.

At 2.5-3 inches, could also be a fighting conch or queen conch.
