Snail Identification

[crupp29]

I found this snail in my tank yesterday and have no idea what it is. These are the best pictures I could get of it. I would also be interested in knowing whether or not it’s invasive, so I can get it removed before it becomes a problem (if it hasn’t already).

Or is it a physid snail?

The difference between Limnaeids and Physids is the direction the shell curls.

I'll have to take another look, yesterday was the first time I've ever seen it...

After taking a closer look, I’m thinking that it is a Lymnaeid Pond Snail.
