stometella snail.....harmless and beneficial....you'll see beige ones too sometimes

Stomatella alright. Never seen an almost all black before, but they come in a lot of colours.

I've got tons of black ones. Try and pick them up and their tails will come off and keep wriggling around. Gross, yet cool.

Adam!.......thats probably not something that we should encourage people to do!:razz:..........although wriggling tails do amuse me:wink::twised:

Well it might be true that the proportion of tailed to tailless stomatella snails in my fuge is rather skewed, I maintain that it was entirely due to natural causes...
