No, but it's brown, covered in air bubbles and sorta stringy yet fuzzy. This one little astrea is going nuts, but there's only so much it can do alone. I'm jsut scared to add a bunch and have them die like the others.
I added 1 turbo last month and it died in three days. The margaritas I added didn't do much better.
Weird. That sounds like dinos to me. Maybe you have an ultra resistant astrea?? I had one turbo survive the whole outbreak (3 months) and he is all over the map cleaning up now. I still have a few bits of bubbly crap that sounds like the same stuff you have (minus the stringy), and I'm a bit hesitant to throw a new cleanup crew in there as well.

BTW I thought margaritas were a colder water snail anyways. I never had any success with them, waste of money IMO.
