    How long does the ugly stage last? 6 month old tank -

    Should I remove this hair algae or let it do it’s thing? Also, how in the world did I get snails? There every where? Would it have come from the “live sand”? Should I get them out?

    Cup O' Snails

    Got a handful of "baby ceriths" and a nassarius for a pico build that is going to become a frag tank now. Do any of the Snails that I dug out look dangerous? I don't think I see any pyramids or whelks, but I want to make sure before I unless them on the DT.

    Too many snails?

    This is a reef tank I got that was established well before I got it. I am new to reefing and revived all of the corals inside this tank back from death. But one thing I thought was off is the staggering amount of snails that are in there. Is there such a thing as too many? Should I rehome them...

  16. Best in Shell: Snails for the Reef Aquarium

    Beginner Topic Best in Shell: Snails for the Reef Aquarium

    Snails can be a very useful part of a reef tank, consuming algae, detritus and harmful microfauna that can make life difficult for your corals and fish.

    Ammonia Concern

    I had my biggest snail die on me. It’s probably been 2 days since, and I finally decided to check, and sure enough he was dead. I pulled out the main parts, but some of his body when flying throughout the tank. Should I be concerned about ammonia rising?

    Stomatella Snail Reproduction?

    Last night, I noticed in my sump a handful at least of small (pencil eraser-ish or smaller) snails cruising through my skimmer section of the sump and my skimmer column itself. The appearance was most like a stomatella snail. Can anyone confirm that this is likely or possible? Any concerns or...
