Just when you think you have a grasp on the pests and dangers. I got a small mariculture colony a couple of weeks ago and had noticed what I assumed was a small hermit on it periodically. I tried to grab it a few times but it was to far inside of the acro branches. Thought it wasn't an issue so I let it be. I was able to grab it yesterday evening and realized it was a snail. I thought hey cool little freebie. I dropped him on the sand bed and got dressed for work. When I was leaving I stopped for one last look and saw the little bugger and crawled onto a frag that was on the sand. I thought you confused little critter and went to work. When I got home this morning I was inspecting the tank with my blue light and saw tissue missing on another prized stick. This little snail was crawling around the acro leaving a trail of missing tissue in his wake. Who ever heard of a acro eating snail!!! I goggled it and sure enough that's what it is. Just for pest eliminating purposes I put him in a bayer dip at 15 ml to a cup for 15 mins. Worthless he still crawles. I'm going to add pics so maybe others will recognize one in their tank and get it out sooner than I did. SMH what next lol
