Navyblue Low maintenance first Feb 10, 2007 #1 Is this astrea snail? Is this trochu snail? Both of them are sold as turbo snails to me.
S sir_dudeguy Active member Feb 10, 2007 #3 first one is definately astrea (well...unless its big. All the trochus snails i've ever seen are a lot bigger than astreas) The second one is a bit harder to tell because of the pattern on the shell....but its one of those 2. I personally think its a trochus. Either way, they're both good

Navyblue Low maintenance first Feb 10, 2007 #4 Thanks guys. Most of the second snail I saw were about an inch in diameter, and some upto 3". It was pretty rare to find him at that size (about 3/4"). I was actually pretty sure what they are, but since most if not all LFS here call them turbo snails, I just post here to make sure.
