So I have had various Astrea snails in my tank.
One has outlived all the rest (a question in itself.)
So for while it was a lonesome soul, its shell had gotten sort of fuzzy.
Added three new Astrea friends, and sure enough, old lonesome's shell is now as clean as the 3 new Astrea friends.
Can't tell them apart.
So they must know about each other; did not randomly clean lonesome's shell by just running into each other.
Maybe grooming each other is part of the Astrea snail mating ritual.
I guess covering the tank at night might have other benefits.
