La negra snail, but I doubt that's the real name

I have seen 2 of these within the past 24 hours.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

 

pix are kinda fuzzy, but it looks like a black Stomatella to me...it has a small "bubble" shell behind its head, right?

 

I didn't see a bubble... However, a google image search of black Stomatella, makes me think that's what it is.

thanks!

 

These snails are called "bubble shell" snails, due to the small shell behind their head...it's actually more like a fingernail in shape. You can see it in the second pic.

 

Awesome, thanks Greg! These guys are safe, yeah?

 

More than that...they're very beneficial.

 

Sweet! I like the sounds of that!

 

Your name wasn't too far off. It was originally called Stomatella nigra until they figured out that the only difference was the color.

Cheers,



Don

 

Thanks!
