ID please

This little guy came from a piece of dry rock that I picked up. He's been roaming around the tank a bit. Looks like a skinny assassin snail with black/white color instead of orange/black. Is it a good or bad critter to have?

[Andrew_B]

Actually, he probably came from my sand. It was still slightly damp towards the bottom of bucket, so I'm sure he could live fine in it.

Hmmmm, my guess is it's a dwarf cerith snail.

If it is....those are reef safe and a good part of the CUC.

[cichlid1409]

some type of cerith snail not sure of the genus and species.

[myjohnson]

All cerith are reef safe correct?

[cichlid1409]

I cant say 100% as you mostly see Cerithium sp. and i know they are reef safe but I believe this is from another genus in the same family Cerithiidae.
