Hi all !
Went to Pulau Tioman over the week and collected some snails from the waterfall.
I wonder what species they are as I've never seen them before. They are solid black in color and I introduced a few into my tank, and to my amazement they can scrap off hard algaes on my glass(I can see that they leave a track where they've been).
Very hardy snails and they max at about 1inch in size.
Don't be afraid of my duck!

The area I was collecting from is not under the protected area and I asked my guide before doing so
Will try to find out what is the exact species of the snail
Found the exact identity !
Neripteron cf. auriculata
Picture sited from: crusta10.de
Hi mod, do you mind helping me change the title of the thread to Neripteron cf. auriculata
