Noticed this snail last night. I think the snail was feeding. I dont know what kind of snail it is and I never seen a snail do this before. A buddy of mine gave me a couple of these snails when he sold his tank.

I think it's just trying to get up of the sand. Some type of Turbin snail would be my guess but I need to see another angle.

If you haven't already you may want to flip that guy over. I don't think all snails can self right themselves.

He already turned himself over, I think he is a mexican turbo snail after doing some research, If anyone thinks any different please let me know. Thanks for help and info.

I second that guess on it being a Mexican Turbo. I had one die on me because it was unable to right itself (wedged upside down between the rock and glass). Sucked because he was my favorite snail. It looked much like that one, though.
