i am thinking it is the common algae snail that most people get. i am guessing it is about 1/4"in diameter and is a flat spiral. not a pointy one.

Hey Tarmer,
I have the same type of snail in my tank. Do you know the full name of it? Has it grown in the past few weeks. My snail is still tiny as of yet. Cheers!

Thanks greenbean36191. I was searching on google for awhile last night with no luck. The collonista definately looks like it. Thanks again.
