    Default Is this one of my Turbos?

    I haven't seen any of my turbos in months. I thought they'd all died and was thinking of updating my cleanup crew. Then, this morning this huge beast of a snail came lumbering across the glass...

    All my turbos were about 1/2 in inch across, but this thing must be 2" across at least... Is it one of my Turbos, and if so, has it been living in some mutant radioactive effluent?

    You can see how big it is by the size of the asterina star stuck to it...

    It looks exactly like the true turbo snails i got from Macca. They do a great cleaning job and aren't suicidal like the 'turbos' you get sold at the lfs. These are actually turban snails i think. Macca will say.
