trochus snails

I’ve got 4 nassarius and about 4 bumblebee snails, I’ve tried to introduce 1 trochus snail at 2 separate occasions now they’re dead and being eaten by the next day. Any idea why the trochus would keep dying but not the others?

I recently bought two trochus snails two days ago, while the other one is doing fine this other one keeps falling on his back, since Saturday I have righted him 15+ times, he can't seem to right himself. I put him on the rocks and he falls off, I put him on the sand bed and I come back and he is...

About a month ago I noticed white specs appearing on my ulva and chaeto in my sump. They’ve now grown to be quite large. Initially I thought they were trochus snail offspring, but I am more concerned now that they might be a pest. They are eating holes through the ulva and have almost devoured...

I overbought CUC for my reef. I can spare 3 large Mexican Turbo snails, 2 large nassarius snails, 3 trochus snails and 4 blue legged hermit crabs. Send me a note if interested.

I see many posts where people have baby Trochus snails spawn in their tanks. But I have not seen anyone selling them on reef2reef. Is there any reason why? They usually run for 4-5 dollars per one snail, and I thought it would be nice if I could buy from people who have too much babies for less...

Hi all. I’ve noticed this design on my trochus snail since I’ve got him about 4 months ago. I’ve noticed this weird snake looking design on its shell has grown. Can someone please help me identify what’s going on? Thanks in advance

So a couple of days ago, I noticed that my trochus snails cleaned up most of the algae on the rocks. I made a post asking if they would starve, but the general answer was no and since that post, the algae has come back, but the snails are not cleaning it up. Instead, they like to run all over my...

It's been a couple of weeks since I purchased these 2 trochus snails for my 10 gallon tank, and they've cleaned all the algae that I can see. Will they starve? If so, what should I supplement their diet with?

My trochus snails are spawning and some other forum posts show hundreds of tiny, baby snails, occasionally clogging up some equipment. Is there anything I could do to prevent this from happening? I have some small blue banded hermit crabs but I'm not sure if they can get many of them.

I have a lot of white specs appear on my glass. They are pure white and move very slowly if at all. I managed to get a sample under the microscope. I have a few trochus snails in the tank which have been releasing eggs lately after a water change. Can anyone help ID them from the pics attached...

Been having some algae problems in the last few weeks but got my Trochus Snail. But in the last day or so i just noticed this odd thing on the back of it. None of the other’s have it. Anyone have a good guess? And if so should i remove it?

The ORA Build is BACK! Earlier this year, we teamed up with the one and only ORA to set up a fully aquacultured reef-- from substrate/rock and inverts, to corals and fish! Absolutely nothing in this aquarium came from the ocean. (You can watch the full series here: ORA + WB: AIO PENINSULA...

My trochus spawned a few weeks ago, now I have a decent amount of babies in my display tank and they’re in my sump too. Should I remove them as babies, wait til they grow larger to remove or never remove? I have a 93 gallon corner bow front for reference. Before they spawned I already had 3 or 4...

Is this something I should be concerned about, or can I place it in my tank? There are red spikes on my trochus snail. I pulled on them and they did not come off (same with a toothbrush). It's a captive-bred snail from @AlgaeBarn

Hey another question, definitely have an emergency on my hands and need to know what to do ASAP. As much input as I can get would be appreciated. I have a 29 gallon tank about 3 months old housing two ocellaris clowns and a bunch of mushroom corals. 3 days ago we added some new tank mates 4...

Hello just messaging from the Arizona area, looking for some input. I’m fairly new to the world of saltwater aquarium care and could really use some advise. We have a 29 gallon tank about 3 months old housing two ocellaris clowns and a beautiful bunch of mushroom corals who have been doing...

So about 3 weeks ago I added a very large single snail to my tank. I believed it was a Trochus snail. But it was sold as an omen snail according to my LFS. When I first got him he has been fine but has just been on the glass and not touched my rocks or substrate. It is very large around a £5...

Added a dozen a few weeks ago to main DT. Yesterday, I added a few more to sump to help with micro algae in new Refugium. Captured this video earlier today.... Should I be playing some Marvin Gaye?

Can someone tell me what algae I have on my rocks and is it good or bad. Also what the white marks are on rocks and snails shell, aswell as the purple tip on snails shell. Any advice will be appreciated

I put 5 trochus in my 55 gal a week ago and 2 stopped moving and 2 are really active and 1 stopp moving last night so this morning I moved it to check if it was suctioned on my rock and it wasn't but it has left this white string like residue. Can anyone tell me what's happening and what this...
