Snail ID???

compulou · 10/22/2006, 07:47 PM

I've looked all over but can't find this bugger anywhere. Anyone want to give it a shot?

He looks cool. Did you get him locally?

compulou · 10/23/2006, 06:38 AM

Yeah, in my tank. lol. Anyone else wanna give it a shot. Don't know if I should get rid of him or throw him back in my tank.

Anyone, anyone...

Looks like a bumblebee snail, a good guy.

Never seen a bumblebee snail that has white stripes... but the striping pattern and shell shape do look very similar to one.

Engina zonalis, http://www.gastropods.com/4/Shell_3214.html get rid of it. its a predatory whelk.

i think Paintbug match is better, the snail looks exactly like that as oppose to the bumblebee.
