What Type of Snail is this?

[LAA]

Months ago there were eggs scattered along the glass walls which I assumed to be snail eggs so I left them. A while later they hatched. It’s been 7 months or so by now and was wondering what kind of snail these are. There’s around 50 or so. Gotten a little bigger over the 7 months probably the size of a grain of rice. At the time I had astrea, trochus, and nassurus snails in the tank.

It's not an astrea, and young nassarius snails typically remain in the sand bed - so I'm leaning towards trochus (but I'd need to see more of the shell to compare them to the baby trochus in my tank).

Collonista, I believe.

Collonista, I believe.

Anything's possible. Baby trochus are entirely white on the bottom until they reach a certain point in size (at least visually using your eyes), so you can't just go off the slug portion. The shell is usually a dead giveaway.

In the second pic you can see the shell almost looks like a baby turbo. Which from my understanding is a good indicator of Collonista. But ya better pics would be helpful.

Apparently the OP didn't have turbos; immaculate conception?

I have to agree with collonista, I have hundreds of them. HUNDREDS of mini looking turbos.

Hope these help.

Looks like a maturing collonista. Even adults are small.

Here is a picture of my adults. They will not get big.

I spot one or two in my tank on occasion. I first noticed them back in January. Cute little guys.

I love my snails. They come out at night. So, if you ever get a chance and you happen to be around the tank during lights out. Take a peak and you may be surprised how many there truly are.

I've been peaking quite a bit at night lately, but haven't noticed them. I'll keep looking though.

I do have a pair of them that are always attached. Same as the OP's pic above.
