Just wondering if anyone can identify this, the flat shell seems really odd, and it moves significantly faster than my other snails.

They can really eat. I have a couple in my tank. i think it is the best little snail.

Thanks for the ID! :)

It's amazing how fast the thing moves, i put it back in the tank and it was gone into the rockwork within a few seconds.
