Wow it seems like I can't go a day without finding another creature to post here lol. About a week ago I found what I thought was a baby nass snail, as it was identical to my grown ones. Well, I found an adult whelk in my tank, yay, so I moved him and said baby to the fuge to live out their days there. Now, I am finding more baby snails. But, they don't look like whelks/nassarius snails as they don't have the snout. The ones big enough for me to see well enough have 2 feelers like my turbos, but the shells are closer to cerith, being cone shaped, but they range from stark white, to white and black striped, to just black. I have found maybe 5, one of which was in the protein skimmer compartment of my sump. They are climbing on the glass, most are near the sand bed and a few venturing up to the top of the tank. Any ideas on if they are cerith, turbo, or some other snail babies? They are too small to get good photos Also, one of my snails (I think a cerith) moved out of his shell and into an empty hermit crab shell. Is that normal? He is fine, but I didn't think they could do that.
