Black Stomella

[pledosophy]

I have what looks exactly like a black stomella. Do they come in black or is it something else?

Black shell and body.

They come in black. The black ones used to be considered a separate species (Stomatella nigra) but most of the experts now agree that the black ones are simple color variants of either Stomatella varia or Stomatella impertusa.

I was kinda nervous for a bit since I'd never seen one and then there was 3. I'm not to up on the snails so was worried.

Thanks for giving me soemthing less to worry about.
