Could you please explain how? The term 'apple snail' is basically a common name which is not valid. Pomacea bridgesii is sometimes called apple snail.
brigg is one of hundreds of types of apple snail. Pomacea bridgesii are commonly sold under the title "mystery snail".
:iagree:
it's the opposite - a snail sold as an "apple snail" can be anything. one species it could be is P. bridgesii - a brig, or "mystery snail".

Pomacae is part of the family under the apple snail complex. It's family name is Ampullariidae and the genus species referred to commonly are Asolene, Marisa, Felipponea, and Pomacea. There are more uncommon genus's: Pila, Afropomus, Lanistes and Saulea.I'm sure more info can be found on applesnail.net
