Is This A Ramshorn Snail?

[gurnie]

Is this a ramshead snail? It has a hard foot at the bottom, so maybe its a Marisa cornuarietis... I wasn't sure. Thanks.

If you mean it has no operculum, then it wont be a ramshorn snail, how big is it, and do you have lots in your tank.

Just bought the one for algae munching. Its about the size of a quarter

Could just be a young marisa, could be a full grown ramshorn.. Tough to tell from the pic.

Not Ramshorn. It spirals are too deep and Curved

Meant to say "If you mean it has an operculum, then it wont be a ramshorn snail" .

Just thought I should correct that .

If that's the case then it will be a young Marisa cornuarietis, so your original thinking was correct. Watch your live plants .

Yep, its a Marisa. Not very good at all at eating algea, none of the ones I have kept show any intrest in it at all.
