So been looking for Dibs Turbo snails for a while now. About 10 years ago I had a proliferating breeding population but quickly gave / sold a lot and moved onto clowns... anyways having trouble finding these guys again. Anyone seen these? They're about 1/8th size of normal turbo snail. Smaller then Astrea but larger then cerith

Actually my favorite might be the cowrie, beautiful snail but nocturnal. Really cool how they surround their whole shell when they come out.

I've never even heard of those. Is that a particular breed?

Most yes. Some can get huge but the money cowrie is.... money. The dibs were a very rare breed but you got all the benefits out a Mexican turbo without knocking everything over cause they're so small.
