STRINGCHEESE Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Is this a safe snail to have in my tank?? It's one of three sold to me by my LFS. But now That I know what a whelk is I'm worried this might be a juvinile one. It's shell is about 5/16" long and it has a tail shell. Here's 2 pics: These are the best pics I can get because the thing is soooo tiny. Link to comment
Helfrichs Chick Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Humm, I might be way off but it looks like a nas snail to me. Does it ever go into the sand? Link to comment
