Hi, these snails are the same ones the wholesalers in Canada and the US have and are named he same so if the name has been changed nobody knows or nobody is using it. I have brought these snails in twice and have been distributed among many memberson Canreef, as far as I know there have been no complaints. I have brought in 300 for myself and through volume you recieve better pricing and lowered shipping costs per snail. This exact issue was brought up when I brought some in last time and here is the link,

If one doesn't feel compfortable putting anything in there tank they shouldn't, but as from feed back and personal experience they do very well in reef systems and have not gotten swimmers itch as of yet.
The changing of the name, you are correct as the title has both the new and old for clarity.
If anyone who has any of these snails from my last order in their tanks and have had any of the problems that Brian has brought up, I would appreciate hearing from you, as my intention for the 3rd time bringing these snails in, is not to cause problems in people reef system's, but to help the system.
Thanks,
Mark
