It is hard to see that could be it, the shell looks different based on the lighting. it looked purple earlier, now it looks brown.

People don't choose their friends based on their look, right ;D Some do have a color tone between brown and purple. They all come with amazing colors really. I personally like light colored foot much more, but when I saw Rick(my blue shell black foot one), he climbed to glass and stayed there with me during the whole time I was at my LFS :D. I like some sort of bonding moments happening. Probably I am just making it up on my mind, but still 😄 I will share my name idea if I get any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe your water parameters and good care make it more definite. Cause I've seen some cases where they look brownish/black, but new growth was purple. like these: Also seem like light plays a role as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chick-In-Of-TheSea Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) The pet stores don’t really give good nutrition to the snails also, so their shells may be dull when you first get them.
