Dorsaninae
The Nassariidae, Nassa mud snails (US), or dog whelks (UK) are a taxonomy (biology), taxonomic family (biology), family of small to medium-sized snails, mostly marine (ocean), marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Neogastropoda. These snails have rounded shells with a high spire (mollusc), spire, an oval aperture (mollusc), aperture, and a siphonal notch. This family of snails is found worldwide. These snails are found mostly in shallow water, on sandy or muddy substrate (biology), substrates, often intertidally, but sometimes in deep water. They can be present in very large numbers in suitable habitat. Nassariidae are primarily active and lively scavengers.

Clea (gastropod)
''Clea'' is a genus of freshwater snails with opercula, aquatic gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Anentominae of the family Nassariidae, a family, almost all of the rest of which are marine. Name The members of this genus are known as assassin snails for their habit of eating other snails. They bury themselves and ambush their prey.
