Hell all !
I been ordered ~2 months ago about 5 stomatella snails from a "local" LFS. One of them was way bigger than the others.
Today morning I found it glass. Can you please confirm that this is a stomatella snail? Pictures attached but not the best quality...Will try to catch another one :)
Thanks in advance!

Definitely a sea hare; not Dolabella auricularia - those have a distinctive, semi-circle shaped tail part (the pics in the link below are helpful for showing what I'm talking about):
I'm fairly certain this is a Dolabrifera species, but telling them apart without examining their shells and male reproductive organs is very tentative.* I would guess D. edmundsi based on coloration and shape, but I can't say for sure.
