Pink/red snail with white speckles? (pic) - Aquarium Advice

Gatorfreak · 09-22-2006, 03:26 PM

I've had some of these roaming around ever since I setup my tank. They were hitchhikers from Florida Gulf LR.

It could be a Red Footed Conch, kinda need to see the shell. Does the shell have black and red/brownish stripes?

Looks like it could also be a tulip snail which would be preditory but more pics from other angles may help.

I think Tulip Snail is the winner based on this:

Mine looks exactly like that except much, much smaller. Never seen one doing anything bad, but I don't watch the tank 24 hours a day.

Of course it's Fluff that guesses it!

LOL! That is a huge snail! I have bumble bee snails, but haven't seen them munch anything, but I definitely have a lot fewer snails!
