Snail ID please
 
I think its some sort of torchus or turbo but not really sure. Staying in a small cup of water till I get an ID.

Looks like it could be a sundial snail to me, but I would wait for someone to confirm that

Nop. Its not sundial thats for sure. Sundials have their body at the side of the shell, this one has its body underneath. Confusing stuff :razz:

sundials also have a pointed trap door. Looks like a chestnut turbo to me.

That's a possibility. I did have a turbo before. Plus found it on the glass so that might show its not predatory.

Looks very similar to the brown blotch snails i aquired a week ago. Shell is very smooth and glossy i assume?

It looks like a colonista snail to me hard to tell the size though ,if its bb size to pea size I would say that's what it is bigger then that I'm not sure

I google it and it doesn't look like the snail in the picture.

That's also a possibility. Well the size right now is about pea size but I believe its a baby snail so will grow big.

Released it back to the tank :)

That's probably a adult colonista ,after about a half hour after lights out try looking for more i bet you have a ton of small itty bitty ones
