Marginella Snails?

[kmk2307]

Hi there,
www.floridapets.com sells what they call Marginella Snails. Does anyone know the scientific name of these snails and / or can provide additional information on them?

Here's a link:

Thanks,

The only marginella snail I've ever heard of is Caracolus marginella which is terrestrial, so I doubt thats it.

Yeah,
When I did a google search thats all I found information on too.

Thanks though,
Kevin

Kevin,

Perhaps Dr. Ron could answer your questions.

Looks like the good Dr took care of you Kevin.

BTW, how is that Chiton you got from Clayton doing?

Hey George. Yup, I'd like to try them. Diversity is always a nice thing. I haven't seen the chiton in a while :worried: but keep in mind I'm usually here at ISU. My mom doesn't do much night tank watching but she knows about what he looks like and hasn't seen him. My other chitons are doing fine and I'm sure theres plenty of algae for him to eat. I got Chitons of the World and tried to ID him but there are many chitons that look just like him except for minor differences. I figured I could rule out the Australian ones but that didn't help much. Thanks for the concern!
