Unlike other ramshorns, Marisa are NOT asexual. You must have a male and a female to reproduce them.

I thought they were asexual.

That's because marisa's are applesnails or from the ampullariidae family. Most other snails with the same shell shape (discoidal or ramshorn) are planorbidae having different anatomy. The marisa is not related to the other snails. Check out applesnail.net if you want more detail.
