Hi all,
Found these snails at LFS. Can anyone know what are these? They are about 1in. Seems like max size is just over 1in long (store has a few range from 1/2in to 1in)

Elephant slug. Black stomatellas will have a small shell on it.

I found one in my tank today,its in the genus scutus, seems that they eat algae and can get 8 inches in the wild but only about 1.5inches in aquaria. I love mine!
