    Snail ID please

    Hello All! Any ideas of the species of this snail? Slightly conical, reddish and white. Quite small at the moment, but I am noticing more by the day. Are they invasive? Good or bad? Thank you all, Your help is so much of value!

    CUC for 29 gallon

    Hi guys! I’m new to reefing and I’ve recently set up a 29 gallon tank that’s finished cycling. Right now I have one Nassarius snail, one trochus snail, two margarita snails, and one cerith snail. I was told that I can have up to ten snails in my tank so I’m pretty sure that stocking is fine...

    Desert Island Snail

    If you could have one snail species in your aquarium, what would it be? Okok, well, perhaps you can include honourable mentions in order of utilitarian role. Really though, I’m interested in your desert island one and only choice. One snail to rule over your aquarium reef.

    Help identifying a possible hitchhiker

    So I noticed a new slug/snail in my tank that I most certainly have never seen. I haven't bought any new coral or rock in the past few months so I was surprised to see this. It almost looked like it could be a baby forming it's shell but I've never seen a baby snail so I have no clue. Any help...

    unidentified snail, conch, or what?

    So I got a 30# package of live rock from KP aquatics and along with everything else there is this snail I can't ID. It has a rolled edge to the shell kinda like a conch, but it is covered in fuzz/hair that I don't see on any of the conches. Can anyone ID?

    What is this snail and what's it blowing into my tank!?

    I was just taking a look around the tank this morning and spotted what I think might be a stomanella snail? Was hoping that the group could confirm. Also, I have never, ever, seen a snail blow this smoke-like substance or whatever into my tank, but it's making me nervous. Any guidance is...

    Snails spawned. Should I be concerned?

    Just now I had all 10 of my trochus snails spaw in my 20g nano. Should I be concerned? The water is looks a little cloudy and I can see a lot of eggs floating around. Do I need to do a water change? Is it going to affect my parameters? Thanks in advance.

    ID: Some sort of snail or worm?

    The last few days i've noticed a bunch of pen tip sized white spots pop up on my glass. I managed to get a pretty good picture of it. Are these baby snails or some type of worm? It looks like a shell.

    What is in my snail?

    I’ve had this snail for a couple of months, and didn’t think anything of the white spot that was on it. Tonight I was looking at everything, and saw this white spot open like a small clam. It’s an almost pearl white, and very hard. Anyone have an idea of what it is? Is it going to effect my...

    Something had the munchies

    I just got this birdsnest colony last week. Well I dipped it with Bayer for 15 minutes at 10ml per cup, rinsed through three stages and put it in QT. Well I am looking at it and see something looking at me! I thought it was a stuck hermit crab or snail, so I pull the coral out and put it in a...

    My Turbo Snail is hosting feather dusters

    Just thought I would share one of my turbo snail hosting a pair of feather dusters. I'm also worried they might hurt the snail somehow in the long run, what do you guys think? They appear to be on the outside of the shell, at least for now.

    Very small, unfriendly looking snail on acro

    Found this guy on an acro that's been struggling even after correcting a number of issues. Hes about 2mm long. I took no prisoners, he is drying out on the kitchen counter now.

    Nerites being bums

    Hey guys. I just added more nerites to my tank. Theyve been in about three days. I added them to try and tackle the diatoms and algae problem. However, the last two days they have almost all been in the top corner of the tank where the auto feeder is. Yesterday I took them off the glass and...
