I'm not sure what kind of snail that is but it's a cool picture. I have a friend that bought a 24 gal cube and some other livestock off a guy who sale frags out of his house and a snail came with the tank. He had a snail about the size of a jawbreaker and it had clam things on his shell. It turned out to be an astraea.
