Albino Mystery Snail (Pomacea bridgesii)
The Albino Mystery Snail is a rare and eye-catching color variant of Pomacea bridgesii, featuring a soft white shell and pale pink to translucent body. Unlike the Ivory variety (which has a white shell and dark body), Albino Mystery Snails exhibit a true albino look with lighter skin and shell coloration — making them a standout in any tank.
These snails are peaceful, low-maintenance, and helpful cleaners that graze on algae, biofilm, and leftover food without harming plants or other tankmates.

These snails have light, white colored feet, which sets them apart from other snails! Easy to care for, these snails eat algae and waste matter, and are great additions for controlling algae growth in the tank. They like slower waters, and prefer harder waters to keep their shells healthy. Keep them with any peaceful fish and/or shrimp!
