Snail

[Snick]

I recently saw some visitors in my 170 gallon freshwater tank, snails!! I don't really mind them, except that the tank is planted and will hate to see the plants chomped down.
Here is a picture of one of these snails;

so, do these eat plants?


Thank you for yur time!

There's a good chance it will eat the plants.. if there is one, there are probably more.

yeah there are many... but my plants dont seem to bad... is there like a quick way to kill them all off or capture them?

That looks like either an MTS or Trapdoor snail, either of which are plant-eaters. Most snails actually don't eat plants if they're well-fed.
