Epitonium sp?

Found this guy in a zoanthid rock and sucked him out with a baster, It was laying eggs I got most of them but may have missed a few. Does anyone know any natural predators of Wentletraps in case I see more? I didnt quarantine this rock but I guess I should have.

 

Hmm, can't see the ribs well enough to know if that's a wentletrap or something else like a rissoid. I've seen lots of species of them, in several different genera, and they were always associated with anemones, not zoanthids, and I've looked at plenty of corals without finding any wentletraps on them, so they are either good hiders or they don't often feed on the corals I've examined while hunting them. Don't worry about the eggs, the planktonic period is very long, and makes it extremely unlikely they could reproduce in any reef tank:

Family Epitoniidae
