Snail ID
Anyone want to take a stab at Iding this snail?
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...l/june6005.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...l/june6010.jpg I've had 4 or 5 of them show up in my tank recently. I'm 99% certain they are herbivores because they spend most of their time on the glass, ignore the other snails and they are growing |
Nobody has any ideas?
|
some kind of conch?
|
?
looks like a sand snail thats maybe why u never seen them does it have stringy sand stuck to um sometimes?

I have no idea what type it is, but we have 2 in our tank, one is exactly the same as the one in your pic and the other is white with a black pattern on its shell. They started out tiny and are now about 1/2 an inch, neither bother anyone else and they seem to eat algae, they mostly stick to the glass or hide out in the macro algae. I think they may be a type of vegitarian whelk or something. I wouldn't mind knowing what they are though.

A Tulip Snail perhaps? (Family Fasciolariidae).
