    Turbo Snail Sitting on Sandbed

    I got my mexican turbo snail about a week ago from my lfs, and it immediately found a crevice in my rock and didn’t come out. A few days later he was on top of the rock, and in attempt to make him do his job I stuck him to the glass. He was on there for a while and when I came back to check on...

    What’s this hitchhiker on the back of this Trocus snail? Looks like a double clam of sorts?

    Noticed this on the back of my snail today while I was checking the tank out. Let me know what you think it is! I’m curious to know. Ignore the algae, I’m in a outbreak and trying to take control of it.

    So just got some live rock and I found two of these snails they are white with horizontal red stripes. Very small and have a bit of a trail behind them that appears to be a part of them and not just a slime trail. They have not done anything remarkable just appear to eat algea. Does anybody know...

    Nasarius Snails eating Turbo Snail

    Woke up to feed the fish in the morning, then I saw three of my nasarius eating one turbo snails, the turbo snail didn't seem to be dying since I saw it last night moving in the glass, maybe it fell off and couldn't get up again? Is this a normal behaviour for nasarius?

    Turbo snail laid eggs, all of them just hatched. Now what?

    Hey everyone, Like the title of this post reads, my turbo snail apparently laid eggs and they all seem to have hatched today. Is there anything I need to be doing about this? I'd imagine that letting them all grow up in my small 55 with limited algae to feed on will result in a lot of...
