A snail that size would have to give a puffer nightmares

Pomacea maculata ...one of the applesnail species, and one, sadly for Americans that APHIS is banning from interstate transport, so they may become quite scarce (but try your local LFS anyways), although they are plentiful in Florida. These snails eat just about anything, and will decimate plants and even predate smaller fish.
