100s of Tiny Snails - Collinista?

[HaveFishWillTravel]

One of my favorite things to do at night is to turn on a flashlight and observe my tank. All sorts of fascinating little creatures come out or skitter away into the holes in the rocks or into detritus. I do this often and have found aiptasia hidden in rock crevices, one night I found a lonely little 1.5” Bristle Worm that I immediately removed with tweezers and hit with Calcium Hydroxide. Sturdy little guys...he curled around for quite some time before I had to hit him again and finally he succumbed. I am watching the copepods starting to get a little too plentiful for my taste and am going to have to bring in some predators to knock the population down a bit. Moderation is key...Tonight, at moonlight I merely looked into the tank and observed 100s of bright tiny spots all over the rocks, glass and bare bottom of my tank. With further investigation, I found these tiny bright spots were tiny little snails. If there weren’t so many of them, I might have been relieved. I checked the forum and found several posts on outbreaks of tiny snails and photos, but would appreciate confirmation that these are the Collinista amakusaensis? I have several very helpful, happy Trochus snails and have also recently adopted a few new corals from very reputable sources. The adoptions happened approximately one month ago. Any help in identification these little creatures or confirmation they are Collinista snails will be appreciated. In the photos, these guys are extremely small. Smaller than a BB.
Teeny Tiny...Thanks Much! JL

Thank you! I hope it will be okay. I fell ill about 10 days ago and my tank hasn’t been attended to. I can see where a few of my corals are suffering, I haven’t tested my water in over two weeks, but have been too weak to do so...I feel so bad about all of it. I have to find someone to help me take care of my tank until I can do it again...such a drag see my green ‘Nem? He’s freakin’ white...the other photos are before shots.

Glad to help. I have at least hundreds of those in my display tank and they haven't bothered any corals or fish. I am sorry to hear that you're feeling sick. I hope you get better soon and that you find someone to help you with the tank in the meantime. I am sure with a water change and some more attention, your tank will look great again soon. Get some rest and focus on your health first and foremost.
