TheDoughboy Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I saw this lil unknown guy crawling on my rocks Friday night and I kinda wigged out. I was not sure I'd get my tweezers in time to get him before he Disappeared into the unknown. I won the race, I'm faster than a snail Anyways... I have not been able to id him from pics on any site or using the magical search button. He has a flat shell like an abalone from what I can tell. But maybe all snail shells are like this when their babies and he is a good guy?? I have him in a jar without heat and he seems fine at room temp. Just would like to know if I keep it or feed to the growler. Any help is appreciated! Link to comment

evilc66 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Probably one of the best and hardest to find snails. I only ever get them as hitchhikers. Link to comment
TheDoughboy Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 Sweet! Thanks everyone you saved his butt from the growler Hopefully I have more too. Thanks again! Link to comment
lakshwadeep Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Be careful when trying to catch them. Stomatellas can release part of their tail if threatened, similar to some lizards. Link to comment
Osric Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Probably one of the best and hardest to find snails. I only ever get them as hitchhikers. I saw one of these in my tank for the first time today. He'd crawled up to the highest point of a rock and was spewing dots into the water - spawning behaviour? Any chance I really have two or more of these? Osric Link to comment
TheDoughboy Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 Send him to me! He's back in the tank. Who knows if I'll ever see him again. Tanks been up for 3 months and never saw him til now. Link to comment
