Evil Murex snail or rare Pink Nassarius?

I have no idea whether there is such a thing as a pink Nassarius, but this looks to be shaped like a Nassarius if you look at the proboscis, but I've not heard of one with a pink body before.

Should it go back in the tank?

I'm leaning towards harmless Anachis sp (Dove snail) at the moment, based on some internet research. Given the time difference means few people are going to be up right now Stateside, I might have to return the little guy to the tank before people wake up again...

It's gone in the refugium (empty bar sand) for now. Opinions still appreciated!
