Can someone educate me on what is happening in this photo? I found this one upside down yesterday. My wife found one today upside down with the same, or similar pattern. It is very pretty. Does someone know the cause?

That's the back door of the snail. They will drop it once they perish. If you see the snail upside down try to flip it back over.
Are you saying that is what a snail anus looks like? Also, what do you mean "drop it"?
 
Its attached to the snail, when threatened they can close tight. When the snail dies you'll find the back doors in the tank.
How very strange. I have rescued my snails many times and never noticed this. Thank you for the information.
 
So did he just call the snails butt pretty?
