Yup. I'd say whelk for sure now. Whelks tend to stay on rockwork and the glass. They also have more of a pattern on their trunk, and have a trap door shell on the back of their skirt.They breed like crazy. And unfortunately they can be carniverous. If you have other snails or clams...they might feed on them.

Nassarius snails tend to stick to the sand, move quicker, have solid colored trunks, and stay much smaller than whelks.
