Hello all, I upgraded my tank some 10 months ago and went with new, live, rock. I went with a combo of Marco Rocks Mauricultured and Tampa Bay Saltwater live rock (So all from the Florida keys), and I've been struggling (failing) with almost any form of SPS since. I spotted these three snails...
Greetings and salutations!
I was hoping that some of you would be willing to help me ID my snails.
I added between 6-12 what I purchased as "nassarius" snails to the tank about 6 years ago. It is my understanding that it is uncommon for them to procreate in our systems, but I seem to have many...
Hello,
I had/have an issue with a Leopard Flatworm that I was helped with yesterday (and am still attempting to resolve). While searching for it last night with a red light, I noticed a large number of small snails on my return glass (and a couple on the shell of a hermit crab). I was able to...
I found this snail in my tank and would love some help on identifying it. I have nassarius snails, but understand that it is extremely rare for them to successfully breed in a reef tank. I also have TBS live rock that I added in June, so it could be a hitchhiker from that (I have not added...
I bought a "Turbo" snail online from a local reef store, but I'm beginning to suspect it is not actually a Turbo.
Apparently Turbos have rounded shells and have the ability to flip themselves.
My guy is definitely conical, with some very rugged edges - and about 3.5cm in diameter. It's also...
I thought I had seen a few of these before I moved all my livestock from my nano to my 65g, but now seeing this on my glass this morning it very much looks like a tiger turbo snail like the ones that were in this tank before i made it into a macroalgae tank. Do I need to move it/them over to my...
Hey everyone
Curious if anyone knows what type of snail this is? The “spikes” on it are soft and retract if touched, and shell is hard. It hitchhiked into my NPS system somehow, I saw it the other day on my scleronephthya (spelling?) christmas tree coral but assumed it was new growth as it...
Hello,
I have started a new reef tank and I am about three weeks in.
I did something a bit out of the normal with this tank and decided to try to kickstart my cycle with some sand from an isolated beach (I couldn't help it, I am a micobiology researcher by trade). I love it as I have a 50%...
Hello all!
I have seen a few of these small inverts that seem to have a hard shell like a snail, but they are not what I think of as the classic snail shape. They are long and oval shaped. I have only seen them under frag plugs and on rocks etc. This morning one was kind enough to be on the...
Hey all. I am new to the hobby and just getting started on my first tank. I am looking for help in identification of a snail.
I got it from the local fish store and was told it is a nassarius but I’m hoping you can give me more specifics on what type? Just want to make sure they’re getting the...
Hello!
I was feeding the kids this morning and noticed about 10 of these little guys in my tank- I did not buy them…. The only snails I have purchased are nassarius snails and cerith snails- my cerith reproduce pretty well but this is a new guy and his friends- party crasher or free CUC...
Just found this in my tank don’t know if it’s bad? Hard to get a good view of it, if anyone could help that would be great, must be some kind of snail but I only have conches in my tank and is not like them at all
Hi! I tried to do my own research but I’m coming up with multiple answers, I personally think they’re Astrea Snails or Turbo Snails. My boyfriend thinks they might be Nassarius Snails but my lord we have dozens on dozens of these little guys now. The Nassarius snails are lay eggs everywhere but...
Found two of these guys right next to a new zoa frag. They might have survived the initial dip with DipX and peroxide. I know they are tiny and an ID might be difficult but I'd still appreciate the help!
Are they sundial snails?
There are currently astrea snails in the tank. I have recently...
Excuse the poor photo/video. Macrophotography is not m forté. I found this little guy attached to one of my frags. Should I add him to the tank or keep him away?
Hello,
I ordered a bunch of snails and was wondering what these two are? Trying to get good pics but it’s somewhat difficult as they are extremely small.
Thanks
I just picked up 4 cowrie snails at my LFS, and they were labelled as money cowries, which 2 of the 4 are, but they said the other 2 were some other species of cowrie.
The one on the left here is unknown, the one on the right is a money cowrie. Anyone seen these before? They apparently came on...
Hello all! It’s great being back on Reef2Reef again after a long time and I will make sure to give updates as soon as I can.
Anyways, I recently got some new macroalgae from Addictive Reef Keeping and these snails popped out. I am pretty sure they are Planaxis sulcatus or a similar species in...
