The shell is where the purple is. It's there. Small and flattened but they do have one.

Hey so are you sure these guys are safe? I got a black one with a purple shell on its back, it was on my zoanthids. I just want to make sure it wont be bad.

Stomatella snails are totally, totally safe. They just come out at night and graze. Do not be alarmed if you look at your tank late at night and see many on the glass, they come out of the rockwork once it has been dark a while.

They come in many different color combos too. I think that is what the "varia" in it's name (Stomatella varia) refers to.
