For that last few years I always thought there was one type of trochus snail (snail #1). I bought trochus snails and received snail #2 which is also a trochus snail after doing some research. Thats news to me! lol Can anyone dispute this/agree? They dont look like the same species to me but I could be wrong. Maybe a different sub-species or originate in different parts of the world?
I got these pics from google since my lights are off, i have snails that look like both of these though.
Snail#1 The snail ive always known as “trochus snails” centered spiral of shell, lighter purple coloring, more pointed shell, longer feelers
Snail#2 The trochus snail that i didnt know was a trochus snail. Spiral off to the side, darker purple, rounded point of spiral, darker purple almost black sometimes. shorter feelers
