Cowrie Snail

I just picked up a cowrie snail, I'm reading conflicting information online about him. Some places say they are herbivors, some say carnivors, some say they are juvinile herbivors and become carnivorous, some say they will leave everyone alone and others say they will eat anemones, does anyone know if I should get rid of this guy?

 

i grabbed it from petland. not a good place to shop i know, but, information online is confusing and contradictory. i have no coral so my only concern is for other inverts and the anemone

 

so, i've relocated the cowrie to a new home out of my house. The final consensus is as follows. As juveniles they are herbivores however, once they reach adulthood, they become omnivores who will continue to eat algae but also add meat into their diets. This includes soft corals, nudibranchs, and sea anemones. If you are going to keep them, their diet can be supplemented by anchoring meat near them at night when they are active.
