Hello all,
I recently picked up a (I believe) Gold Ring Cowrie (Monetaria annulus) in my LFS; they simply had them labelled as small cowrie snail. I had done some research on these before buying, as I love the look of them, and found they appeared to be considered reef safe, not grow very large, and graze on algae. Since getting my new purchase home and acclimated (seems to be doing well, active with mantle out much of the time), I have done some more reading and found conflicting information on their diet, eventual size and ideal temperatures. Anyone have any long-term experience with these, or the similar looking Money Cowrie?
