Can I get an ID on this snail? I have three of them. They are about the size of a Mexican turbo but don’t have as distinct of a “double foot”, although they seem to locomote by sending ripples up each half of the foot separately. And unlike Mexican turbos these have actually survived in my system for a few years. I’d like to get a few more for some other tanks but not sure what they are.

Looks like a trochus snail to me, though its hard to tell. See what other people say before believing me, lol.
