My sis in law gave me this snail yesterday morning. She got him at the LFS, and told me NOT to trust what the snaildude said... and to just google him to see what he is.
Okay, ahhh....hmmm....
I THINK he's a Chinese Mystery Snail. But I am not sure. Can someone here, help me? He's two and one-eighth inches long in the shell, and has no siphon that I've seen him use.
Also, I have a question about the algae... can I get that off of him without hurting him???
THANKS for any input

Looks alot like my black mystery snail, albeit a bit larger by your description
 
sounds like a large mystery snail to me too, they can get that big...

I have one that large and he is also covered with algae by this time.

I would leave it on him forget about removing it as it won't hurt anything.

Mystery snails do have a siphon though...
