Hello all

I have a question that you may answer.

Do you know what type of snail is that?

Thanks!

Stomatella - not sure of the exact species.

Stomatella, great cuc, they are excellent algae eaters.

Hello all

just found like 40 baby snails like that one. Good? bad? Pest?

Could you please help me to identify our little friends?

Thanks and regards!

As mentioned in the other thread:

Most likely the Lettered Dove Snail - harmless/beneficial CUC if so.

It is a Columbellid/Dove Snail (Dove Snail being the common name for snails from the taxonomic family Columbellidae) - in this case, it's the Dotted/Lettered Dove Snail, Euplica scripta.

The shell pattern and color for these are highly variable, so I'd suggest looking over quite a few specimens before deciding if you think it's a match or not.
