Gobynose Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I have two banded trochus snails (at least, I was sold them as banded trochus snails), but instead of having the black foot that everybody talks about mine have thick pale golden and dark brown/black stripes on the upper part of their bodies, and what looks like ruffled eyebrows (not sure what they are really). Their shells do seem to be banded white and red but it’s hard to tell because they also both have a lot of algae on them. They both seem to be resting right now so I can’t get a picture of their bodies but the underside of their feet is white. Has anybody seen these before? I’ve also tried looking for striped saltwater snails but that just turns up nerites and bumblebee snails. These are definitely not either of those. Quote Link to comment
Gobynose Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 Of course now one of them is moving around. This picture at least gives you the idea about their body stripes. The banding on their shells is really only viable on the bottom. Quote Link to comment
