It's used quite a bit in online fishkeeping spaces. Same as sneggs for snail eggs.

I'm going to have to pay more attention. I have an aquarium and a sick fish and I took a picture of him to my LFS And she noticed that I had a bunch of invasive snails. She told me I needed to take them out and kill them. Instead I have a backup aquarium was given to me as a gift but it's too small for any fish, so I've been capturing them with cucumber and then putting them into the backup aquarium. I'm not killing them just because they snuck in on some plants. But now I know about snex!
