[ddress007]

Trading Tulip snail for coral offers. The snail is about 2 inches and is very hardy. This snail will eat other snails(best suited for a species tank). Thermos trade from KY. The only differnce between this pic and now is some coralline algae on the shell.

I thought they were dangerous even for people to handle.They will also outgrow most tanks.

a small predatory snail that feeds on clams. The highly polished shell has a marbelized pattern of grey, brown, and white with distinct purple-brown spiral bands. Females will lay eggs in an aquarium in vase shaped horny capsules. Male is said to eject water, setting up vibrations, to attract a mate. Size: 5-7 cm.

I have had this snail for almost a year. The only thing it has attacked was my snails. It left my hermits, fish, coral, and sea star alone. I have handled the snail personally and never had a problem. Still-up for trade.
