snail

A friend of mine today gave me a large cowrie snail, asking me to clean it out for her to use as a shell. I told her I would, but I’m not gonna go and hurt a creature like that so instead I put it in my tank at home. Once I got home, I put it in and I did see it move a bit, but I’m afraid it was...

So I was given a snail, and I put it in my 10-gallon Nuvo, it soon died and I figured because I kinda forgot he was there and the tank filled with this slime. I drained the tank and now refilled it with new salt water, a rock and some filter media. The issue is the goo is like still there, even...

So my tank has been cycling for about a month or so now. Live rock, and live sand. All my tests are looking good. I think I'm about finished. I have my heater out because I'm still stirring sand dust out (I was silly and didn't rinse) but my water stays around 74 even without. Tonight I was...

Update: Upon further research, I was able to educate myself a little. It appears the snails are harmless and the limpets?; are as well. The flatworms though; not so sure. Hello all! Found a few new critters I haven’t noticed before. Seen a few of these little snails climbing around. They’re...

Noticed this little guy crawling on a piece of monti cap. Don't recall ever seeing him before and just curious if anyone can help ID as good or bad!

Hi, Just wanted to know which site/vendor gives the most for your money. Where is the best value on clean up crews out there? Thanks

Every time I look at the tank long enough I find someone new, leading to the fun "Keep me / Remove me" question. Any ideas on IDs for these guys? Each is about 1 cm.

I have found several of these snails in my TBS live rock shipment -- from 1/2 cm to 1 cm maybe? These are whelks, because of the "trunk," right? As in BAD snails to remove since they can harm other crustacean shells? Thank you!

Hi. I have a 13.5 fluval saltwater kit. In it is 4 hermit crabs, a big turbo snail, and zoanthids, 1 candy coral, 1 brain coral, and 1 Lord. And 3 snails that are in my sand and only come out for food... idk the type they are so picture is included of the eggs and the snails. Also, I treated my...

Hey guys, so I've just started my first saltwater tank and have many questions. Hahaha. I'm going to add an egg crate lid to my 20 gallon tank and was wondering if that will be enough to keep snails inside? There will still be open spots for the HOB filters. Do the snails usually tend to go...

Hey everyone! So three days ago I started my new FOWLR tank, and got some live rock to start the cycle. So this morning I noticed a snail moving veeeerrry slowly across the live rock and was hoping someone might be able to help me identify it. He is in a hard to photograph spot, so sorry for the...

hey I was wondering if this silicone I used to reseal my tank can't be used. My tank has been setup since December. I had a cyano issue because of some pukani I believe were leaching phosphates. Took them out and used chemi clean twice and so far so good. I have a couple of fish (pair of clowns...

I got a single turbo snail last Saturday and he has retracted into his shell. I thought this was normal because it was a new environment but he seems stuck and can't get out of his shell. I can see him trying but he can't "unfold" out of his shell. He has flipped over twice since I put him in...

I have about 6 adult cerith snails in the tank. I've seen a couple of these tiny white snails that are shaped like ceriths. However, they also look like they could be pyramid snails. What do you think?

Unsure if these are French in origin endulging on some escargot , but I as one who loves their CUC does not appreciate it. His friends are just standing idly by as though they're waiting their turn. :(

I purchased a coralline cluster and it arrived with what looked like a stomatella snail hitchhiker on the side of the bag. When I grabbed it, it rolled up into a ball like you see in the picture. What are we looking at here?

I found a couple tiny snails on some live rock. At first I thought they were sundial... but im thinking collonista now. Second opinion please.

What is this???? About the size of a nickel Disappeared when I turned lights on.

Hi guys, I just noticed this little creature appeared in my tank! It's probably a hitchiker ( i didn't add anything in my tank for over 2 months though?) but anyways. I would like to know what is it? I think it looks like a sea slug? Or a snail? I have no idea so i'm uploading this video and...

What is this?

Hey all, wanted to confirm that this was a collonista snail and not a sundial. Thanks for your input. Hope the image is okay.

bought a new 11 pound Fiji rock a couple days ago and am seeing a small snail and crab, probably more critters yet to be discovered. The snail is probably 1/16 of an inch across and the crab is about 1/8 of an inch across (very rough estimates). Please let me know if either of the guys are...

Found what I believe is a yearling Fighting Conch washed up on a beach this last week. Brought him home and set him up with Nature's Ocean sand, 'bacteria water', a water mover/filter system & heat from a large local fish store. He seems happily buried in the new sand. The water is good & clear...
