I've started to see these snails all over the tank. they blend in really well and I first noticed them with that light that shows the florressence. They have a small shell that is an offset flat spiral and it only covers about half of their body. They have tissue that comes up over the sides of the shell too. They are pretty skittish and avoid light most of the time, but the population has exploded and I can find them out all the time now. One of the neetst things is how they move when they are scarred. They almost run by using just the two front corners of their foot and well, running. They go really fast for snails this way. The other neet thing is that they are eating the nasty pest alge in my tank. Yay!
Anyone know what they are?
This is one of the largest darkest colored ones. the little hairy things on the right side of the shell are the tissue I'm talking about. In this pic check out the nasty alge he is chowing on. Whatever he is, I'm keeping him. Doesn't he look a little like an elephant?
