Like, really, really tiny. I noticed it in my tank, I think it may have been in the soil. Doesn't look like a baby of any of the species I keep. I think it's an adult of a very tiny species. If I'm correct, it has an umbilicus, "large" relative to his size. No need to identify unless you happen to know. Just wanted to show it It's alive too. As soon as I put it back on the soil, it came out and started to move. So tiny I could hardly see its body!

Dang! I bet that snail measures only 1 millimetre! I didn't measure it, but if I resize the picture back to the size of my hand the snail indeed measures just 1 mm! Also, it is tinier than most of my bits of egg shell crush I already lost track of him. My boyfriend came up with a suitable name; Nano. Wouldn't be surprised if I never see it again

Hi dinowcookie, it's genus Vallonia (Valloniidae). There are some rather similar species in Europe. They don't get larger than 2 to 3 mm shell width. Kind regards: wolf
