baby turbo snail?

[saxerphoner]

I found this thing crawling on my glass yesterday that, I think, could be a baby turbo. I have two (adults) in my tank. The "face" looked like a turbo snail but of course it was very small and didn't have a shell that I could see. Do there babies have shells that you can notice and does he have a chance of growing up in my aquarium?

Thanks for the input and has anyone else had these in their tank?

Most likely it was a Stomatella Snail. Do you have a picture of it?

it was too small... crappy camera couldn't get it to focus well, sorry. The two turbo snails are the only type of snails I have in my tank at the moment.

thanks

It most likely isn't a baby turbo. They are broadcast spawners and the babies are in the water column with the rest of the Zooplankton. In an event if they were to settle down, then they would look just like their parents.

Here is a picture of a Stomatella snail

i would go with Collonista snails. they are fairly common in aquariums. http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-05/rs/index.php about 3/4 down.
