Blueberry Papua Snail Shrimp Cove

🐚 Blueberry Papua Snail

(Tylomelania sp. “Blueberry”)

Deep, mysterious and absolutely captivating — the Blueberry Papua Snail is one of Sulawesi’s most striking treasures.

With its sleek dark shell and rich blue-to-indigo body, it’s a truly unique addition to any aquascape, adding a subtle pop of colour and elegance to your shrimp colony.
