    A baby astrea? Or something else?

    It's a Collonista snail, same family as the Turbos, but they don't get very large. They are good algae eaters.

    Cheers,


    Don

    Yes, definitely a collonista snail.

    They are good clean up crew critters. That is really all the bigger they get, only a couple mm's wide.

    As long as he's good, I'm happy. I guess he hitchhiked somewhere along the way. Thanks guys!
