Hi everyone, this snail has suddenly appeared in my tank, and I have no idea where it came from!
It's about 1cm long when it's grazing, the shell is slightly shorter, it's brown with a grey rim, and looks a bit like a long shelled winkle that you find in rockpools. It's got quite long stalks at the front, tipped with black, and a fairly narrow pointed tail.
My questions are where could it have come from in the first place, is it bad for my fish and should I get rid of it? It just seems to be grazing on the glass of my tank at the moment, and I can't see any others, but it looks very like the stones in the bottom of my tank!
I've tried to take a pic but it's too small for it to come out properly!
Any advice will be gratefully received, thanks in advance,
Best Wishes,
Lonnwy x
