rehren Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 notice the purple tentacles. it uses them to "feel" around and test out where it's gonna move next. here it is playing with a hermit: Link to comment

FlyGTI Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 Dammit Steve... I was gonna call it Ralph. Link to comment
rehren Posted September 24, 2003 Author Share Posted September 24, 2003 it's not an astrea. astrea don't have that pattern of a shell nor do they sport the purple tentacles. trochus is a classification, not a specific type of snail. there seem to be about 20 different types of trochus, i'm just trying to find out which one it might be. thanks for the posts though.

JLTRUK Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 sorry about that, it was worth a shot. My astrea looks like that...i really havent payed attention to the color of his tentacles though. When you find the name of it let us know. Link to comment
rehren Posted September 24, 2003 Author Share Posted September 24, 2003 jltruk - does your astrea have tentacles around it's entire body or just at the front? if it has them all around can you post a pic? thanks! Link to comment
JLTRUK Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 I will have to look closer tonight (I am at work right now) If i can get a good shot of him I will put it up for you. Link to comment
