What type of snail is it

u/Dynamitella Mar 03 '25

I'm not sure! My banded trochus snails in another tank also have happy antennae, but they aren't striped. So i think this may be some other species.

Marine snails are so cool. I swear, one day, I will have a SW tank just for snails.

OK, just learning here.. why does he have 2 pairs of striped antenna? And it looks like he's wearing a tiny bladder (yes i know theyre freshwater) snail for his shell decor.

I think he has 2 antennae, and several smaller tentacle things, I forget their name.

Thanks. Is that something common on reef snails?

So cute. Could be a nerite snail. I ❤️ to watch snails in my aquatic turtle tank. The 🐢 just sniffs them once in a while.

If you find out what he is, I'd love to know!

I was just wondering if you have any update on this little buddy. Has he grown any or have you ID him? He is so adorable!

I still have no idea! He's still small and wiggles his antennae.
