This one came with my Nerites. Been in my tank for 6 months. Sometimes burrows in the sand.

I think you're right. The LFS that I bought it from sells that type of snail. Haven't been there in some time. I looked it up and saw that it requires a sg of 1.023-1.025. Mines at 1.011. So far it's doing well considering the temp has been around 86F. Thanks

No problem! I've also seen other marine snails living in brackish conditions.
