Default Critter ID: Name this snail?
Can anyone ID this? 2 of them were crawling on a colony of zoo's and my zoo's are not doing so hot.

I am just not remembering puting any of these in the tank.. at first I thought Chitons? But don't they have a pattern on their shell? Then I thought Limpit? But im just not sure. I don't want to toss them if they are good!

Thanks in advance!

My tank literally become alive with those snail after the lights go off. I have a bunch, black, gray, white. If anyone would like some let me know, all it takes is a couple and in no time they will start reproducing.
