Snails - Astraea (Astralium rhodostomum)

Astraea Snails - Astralium rhodostomum, related to the pointed, but this species have a smooth, pyramid structured shell.

Just like the pointed species, this species will spend all day and night clung to surfaces mowing down any type of algae it happens to come across in its path.

Unlike their pointed counterpart, they do now have a hard trap door to protect themselves if knocked off, so be mindful when hands go in tank and if you see one struggling to get up if knocked over, best to help correct it.
