Re: what are these
The top one is dendronotus venuztus, the bottom one is dendronotus albus. Snails are not my thing.

Re: what are these
dendronotus albus looks like the outside ones, but the middle one looks different to me ... do some not have the orange tips?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Re: what are these
Georgia is correct; Aleutian moonsnail. The spots on its body are one giveaway; they're also a lot smaller than the Lewis' moonsnails; one that's longer than an inch is really big.
Very nice pictures!

Re: what are these
They changed the designation on albums a while back to include what used to be versacolor so yes these are all albus and this also includes the pink ones.
