Baby snails

[mattb2989]

Hi all. Do these look like baby trochus snails to you guys i have a few normal and blackfoot trocus snails aswell as ceriths that lay eggs every few nights. I noticed 2 weeks ago every night my trochus snails were milking in the water. Also have some spiny astreas but never seen them do anything. Dont see the babys during the day but come night theres loads. I mean hundreds. Only seen them less than a week now

These are adult Collonista snails (not Trochus), which are puny, rapidly-reproducing hitchhikers. They are beneficial algae grazers.

It has literally gone from nothing to these in the space of a week?

I was going to say collonista until I saw the pics with the pointy-ish shells... Hard to say.

I've definitely had collonista "blooms", so it's a possibility...
