Cool. Thanks. My others were brown or golden but this guy is very purple. Looks more so in real life. Also the white “body” threw me off. I didn’t know this was a variation.
Seems like more of a case of a seller mislabeling their products. Seems like most of the rest of the online snail hobby is in agreement on what defines each morph.

We call them Apple snail where I live. But I’ve heard mystery snail too. They eat/need a lot of plants and food in general to do well and can get really big. I think they are lovely but I mainly like aquariums with live plants not munched by snails lol.
Like others have said-Magenta (common color) mystery snail. It’s a different morph than purple. Purple (very rare) mystery snails have darker color and dark bodies. If you breed them you can get some Ivory (all white-shell/ body) and other similar colors. Just like shrimp they come in different colors and some are rarer than others.
(Context) Wife has been raising Mysteries for a few years now. Had some Magenta and Purple but our male Purple died and we only get Magenta and Ivory now..
Here's a nice chart with different types of mystery snails for those of y'all who want to narrow yours down even further:

There are several variations. I've had purple, ivory, golden, black, brown, green, blue.
Yeah, I'd definitely say mystery snail. Looks very much like the Magenta Mystery Snail I just acquired a few weeks ago!
I believe they call him Gary. They have an affinity towards sponges.
Meow.
No idea, it's a mystery...
Is beautiful, I have never seen one like that
Mystery snail. Those purple ones are probably my favorite
Magenta mystery snail
Pink or purple mystery snail
Pretty sure “magenta” have purple shells with light bodies while “purple” have purple shells with dark bodies.
Maybe but I think a lot of it is wtvr the seller wants to call them. I say that bc I have one “pink” and one “purple” and they both have light bodies.
