Trochus Snail Inquiry.

[Jasonanatal]

Hello everyone, I recently purchased two Trochus Snails for my JBJ 29 gallon Nano Cube HQI Quaratine Aquarium. But I noticed something on them that I have not seen or neglected to notice on any other snail I have own. Have anyone seen this before. I'm assuming its a normal extenion from their bodies to react to stimuli from the surrounding environment.

Yep, the "feelers" are pretty typical for trochids. Quite a few of the vetigastropods have them, including abalones.

Cheers,



Don
