    the other day i was buying some astrea snails
    ( by the way they put a good dent in my GHA more than any other critter i have)

    and they had a bunch of snails that looked just like astrea snails but with orange shells, anyone ever seen these?, are they dyed or are they a diff type of snail.?

    i was going to get some but then i remebered about the dyed carpet anemones, and dint want to support and dying of animals.
