Need ID...Mexican Turbo....? Red & Black...?

[bt_1999_66]

Hey guys/gals,
Went to LFS yesterday, and picked up what he called a Red & Black Mexican Turbo Snail...
Has anyone heard of this..? It's molusk part actually Bright Red and Black. They grown quite huge, thus the one I picked up is the size of a small peach (about 2" in diameter)...
Can anyone confirm ID on this critter...? <img src="graemlins//bah.gif" border="0" alt="[bah]" /> <img src="graemlins//bah.gif" border="0" alt="[bah]" /> <img src="graemlins//bah.gif" border="0" alt="[bah]" />

Baron,
Thanks for the quick response.... But that's not the little bugger...
When I say RED and Black, I mean Bright Fire engine Red... If you want, let's meet at Fish Ranch on Jones Road right off 290 frwy. Tony is the Manager and they should have about 5 left...
Bright Fire engine RED and Black, the color of this Emoticon...

I bought 3 red moon snails a while back for my reef but none of them survived. They are more expensive than the Mex. Turbo as well. I now hear that they like colder water so maybe that's why they died so I won't buy anymore. They do list 72-78 degrees on that link.

ya'll could have met up at GLOBAL FISH & PETS on bellaire; last I looked, he had plenty of those; that was few weeks ago though; I think he was charging about $5; who do ya'll think has the better LR, jone's "fish ranch" OR 59 fish ranch; amazing how close actually most of the good LFS's ae to each other; iether of ya'll tried CITY PETS yet ???

YIKES; global kind of pricy on their tanks; FISHWORLD has the best corals in town; they also have a new 135 gallon tank,stand, lights combo for $350 new I think it is; might be 300; fish ranch 59 is ok on LR if you catch them when they have it; they have water pump in their now points up so you can rinse off the LR better; global is great for some fish & corals though; CITPETS is at beechnut & beltway 8; not best live stock wise; GREAT DRYGOODS though

hey BT in another recent post you had said you had had a flowerpot, but that it died; you had also mentioned that there was a clown in the tank w/ it; did the clown cause it to die? LOTR said that he had had that happen to his
