Hello everyone, i just setup a new EBI tank and purchased a bunch of plants.

Today as i came back from work i noticed a trumpet looking snail chilling on the substrate and i was wondering what it was and more importantly, could it be dangerous to my future shrimps?!?!?

thanks for any info you can provide!

Regards,
Remzy

Maybe I said it badly. I would like to say, it is not dangerous. It looks like Tylomelania species. They are safe.
Sorry for bad english.
