So my dad brought me back some things from hawaii.  Several small black snails from a tide pool, and a hebrew cone snail.  I know it is predatory, and venomous, but anyone have any other info on it?  I'm working on getting a refugium set up, and it will have a home there, but for now it burrows around and stirs the sand in my tank.

Just fyi for the rest of you.  My dad finally sent me some more info on the cone snail he brought me.  It grows to about 2.5 inches and eats bristle worms.  So it will be staying in my tank.  Here is a link to the page he sent me for anyone that wants to see a pic of the shell.  It is the Hebrew Cone.   www.pukahawaii.com/learnshells.html   click on the learn about hawaiin shells link on the left.

But Bristleworms are our friends. I wouldn't want them to be eaten up, or detritus and dead things would accumulate

Speaking of which, if anyone has too many members in their bristleworm collection, I would be willing to take a few or a bunch off of your hands.

Carl-

I have plenty - but I don't know how to catch them. I've never seen my bunch up like Ryan Willdens post a couple of days ago.
