Melanopsis buccinoidea sp "Purple Haze" belongs to the tower lid snails and has a short, squat, dark shell with a purple shimmer depending on the incidence of light. The species has been discovered in often fast-flowing waters of Jordan, Lebanon, Cyprus and southern Turkey. Because of this distribution area, temperatures between 20 and 30 °C are no problem for these animals. The Purple Haze can reach a maximum size of 4 cm. The animals are of separate sex, so there is no need to fear mass reproduction as with other species such as the bladder snail.
